 [G]       There's somethin[Fsus2]g special 'bout six o'clock

 [G]       In the morning when [Fsus2]it's still too early to knock

 [E]       And the dusk[Am/E]y light shines down on the block

 [E7]       And reflects up an[Am/E]d down on the hands of the clock

        Fsus2 [as above, 4X; alarm clock enters 3rd time]
        Six o'clock, six o'clock

{section: Verse 1}
 [G]       A few [Abdim]hours ago she was stand[Am]ing here

 [C]       Just watching the sta[D]rs in our eyes and the lights as the tights

 [G]            disappeared

 [Em]       And I could feel I[E] could say what I want

 [Am]       That I could nudge [A]her and call her my   confidante

 [G]       But now[D] I'm all alone with [C]just my sha[G]dow in front

 [Fsus2]
 [G] [2 bars]
        At six o'clock, six o'clock

{section: 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

{section: Bridge}
 [F/G]          If I go back wher[G]e we parted

 [F/G]          Could I ever [G]feel like that again

 [F/G]          Guess I'll just have to wait 't[G]il tomorrow

 [D]         But what [Dsus4]can I  do 'til then

{section: 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

{section: Coda}
 [G]       Now I'm[D] back[C] alon[G]e

 [G]       Yes, now[D] I'm [C]back [G]alone

 [G]       I'm [D]back [C]alone[G]

 [G]    [D]     [C]
 [G]        [repeat to fade]
