G Fsus2
There's something special 'bout six o'clock
G Fsus2
In the morning when it's still too early to knock
E Am/E
And the dusky light shines down on the block
E7 Am/E
And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock
Fsus2 [as above, 4X; alarm clock enters 3rd time]
Six o'clock, six o'clock
Verse 1:
G G#dim Am
A few hours ago she was standing here
C D
Just watching the stars in our eyes and the lights as the tights
G
disappeared
Em E
And I could feel I could say what I want
Am A
That I could nudge her and call her my confidante
G D C G
But now I'm all alone with just my shadow in front
Fsus2/G [2 bars]
At six o'clock, six o'clock
Verse 2:
I went home and found that time to sleep was rare
Just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not
to care
I got up and got scufflin' around
But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town
And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound
At six o'clock, six o'clock
Bridge:
F/G G
If I go back where we parted
F/G G
Could I ever feel like that again
F/G G
Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow
D Dsus4
But what can I do 'til then
Verse 3:
Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn
Yes, I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all
And I wish my head had been working right
We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night
And now I'm back alone, bein' twisted up tight
Six o'clock, six o'clock
Coda:
G D C G
Now I'm back alone
G D C G
Yes, now I'm back alone
G D C G
I'm back alone
G D C G [repeat to fade]
