              C                              F           
Well, it's closing time, I got no place to go 
    Dm                F 
No, I'm not tired; nobody's waiting at home 
     C                       F     
Hey, what about you? Looks like you're leaving alone 
      Dm     
Guess that makes two - me and you 
    F 
By the way, my name's Jones 
C        Am 
I know a place not far from here 
       Dm 
That's my dented red Chevy out front 
    G 
You can follow me there 
C 
There's no neon lights 
    Am 
It don't stink of beer 
        F 
It's just a mile up the road 
    G 
Just a minute from here 
 
Chorus: 
       C        Am 
These arms are open all night 
        Dm             
If you need someone to talk to 
 
A hand to hold on to 
    G 
And if it feels alright 
       C G            C     
These arms are open all night 
    C                       F     
The band is through, they're breaking down the drums 
          Dm            F 
The took the singer's keys, man, he was really drunk 
            C                 Am      
They're turning on the lights, we can't stay here no more 
         Dm           F 
I can take a hint, find my way out the door 
   C                  Am         
So what do you think? Are you going my way? 
        Dm 
There's still a whole lot left to this night 
      G     
Baby, what do you say? 
 
 
Chorus: 
       C        (G Am) 
These arms are open all night 
        Dm             
If you need someone to talk to 
 
A hand to hold on to 
    G 
And if it feels alright 
       C G            C     
These arms are open all night 
 
Bb                       Am     
God only knows how long it's been that I been so lonely 
     Dm 
Back there at the stop sign 
               G     
I see her headlights 
 
I think she's coming with me 
 
 
C (G Am) F Bb F 
 
Chorus: 
       C        Am 
These arms are open all night 
        Dm             
If you need someone to talk to 
 
A hand to hold on to 
    G 
And if it feels alright 
       C G            F        G     
These arms are open all night 
          C     (G Am) F G      
Are open all night 
 
C (G Am) F G
