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 Gdim 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]
