[Bb]
Every afternoon at five o'clock [Eb] I forget all [Bb] about you
There ain't nothing but this honky [Eb]-tonk to remind me [F] we're through
[Bb] And [F] [Bb] I [Eb] can put off going back to that [F] old empty house you swore [Bb] you'd never leave
From [Cm] the loneliness you handed me [F] I can get a brief [Bb] rebrief
From here until [Eb] closing time [F] It won't matter, [Bb] you're gone
[B] I can fill up [Cm] my emptiness Maybe make it on [F] my own
From [Bb] now till [Eb] they lock the doors [F] Put the chairs [Bb] up, sweep the floors
[Gm] You won't [Cm] even cross my [F] mind From here [Eb] until closing [Bb] time
[F]
[Bb] Well, the good old days are good and gone [Eb] Since you [Bb] left without me
If I could figure out where we went [Eb] wrong Maybe [F] I'd be free
[Bb]
[Eb] These ties that bind my foolish heart [F] Just won't let me start my [Bb] life again
And [Cm] then I wouldn't need this lonesome bar [F] Where I come to [Bb] pretend
From here [Eb] until closing [F] time It won't matter, [Bb] you're gone
[B] Your memory [Cm] won't break my heart I can make it on [F] my own
From now [Eb] till they lock the doors [F] Put the chairs [Bb] up, sweep the floors
[Gm] You won't [Cm] even cross my [F] mind From here [Eb] until closing [Bb] time
