	         G                     Fsus2
	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

	G   D    C   G        [repeat to fade]
