There's sGomething special 'bout Fsus2six o'clock
In the moGrning when it's still too Fsus2early to knock
And the dEusky light shines Am/Edown on the block
And reflE7ects up and down on the Am/Ehands of the clock
Fsus2 [as above, 4X; alarm clock enters 3rd time]
Six o'clock, six o'clock
Verse 1:
GA few hours G#dimago she was standing hAmere
Just watching the sCtars in our eyes and the liDghts as the tights
disappGeared
And I could fEmeel I could say what I wEant
That I could nAmudge her and call her my Aconfidante
But nGow I'm all alDone with just my shCadow in frGont
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/GIf I go back where we pGarted
F/GCould I ever feel lGike that again
F/GGuess I'll just have to wait 'til tomGorrow
DBut what can I Dsus4do '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:
