        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
