F                                 C7
There are twenty-three hours that I can get by
C7                                 F
But the 24th hour is the one when I cry
F Bb                              F
I pray that it won't come but it comes anyhow
F       C7                       F
And the 24th hour is right about now


[Chorus]
F                   C7
Right about now the heartaches start calling
C7                                  F
Right about now the teardrops start falling
F   Bb                            F
The late show is over and there's no place to go
F        C7                                  F
And it's right about now that I miss you you so

[Verse 2]
F                              C7
I start couting the hours when daylight began
C7                                                F
For I know that when night comes just how it will end
F Bb                             F
I pray that it won't come but it comes anyhow
F       C7                       F
And the 24th hour is right about now


[Chorus]
F                   C7
Right about now the heartaches start calling...
