Six o’clock (video)

G - F G - F

G F

There's something special 'bout six o'clock,

G F

in the morning when it's still too early to knock,

E Am

and the dusky light shines down on the block,

E Am

and reflects up and down on the hands of the clock,

F ~

six o'clock, six o'clock.

G E Am

1. A few hours ago she was standing here,

C

just watching the stars in our eyes,

D G

and the lights as the tights disappeared.

Em E

And I could feel I could say what I wanted,

Am - A

that I could nudge her and call her my confidante.

G D C G

And now I'm all alone with just my shadow in front,

F

at six o'clock, six o'clock

G E Am

2. I went home and found that time to sleep was rare,

C D G

just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not to care.

Em E

I got up and got scufflin' around,

Am A

but somehow it just wasn't the same happy town

G D C G

and the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound,

F

at six o'clock, six o'clock.

F G - F G

If I go back where we parted, could I ever feel like that again ?

F G - D

Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow, but what can I do 'til then?

G E Am

3. Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn,

C D G

yes, I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all.

Em E

And I wish my head had been working right,

Am A

we'd have gone for coffee and talked all night,

G D C G

and now I'm back alone, bein' twisted up tight,

F

six o'clock, six o'clock.

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 (2x) ….
