Tom: A
A D A
Every afternoon at five o'clock, I forget all about you
A D E
There ain't nothin' 'bout this honky tonk, to remind me we're through
D E A
And I can put off goin back to that old empty house, you swore you'd never leave
Bm E A
From the lonliness you handed me, I can get a brief reprieve
[Chorus]
D E A
From here until closin' time, it won't matter you're gone
A Bm D E
I can fill up my emptiness, maybe make it on my own
D E A F#m
From now til they lock the doors, put the chaires up and sweep the floors
Bm E D A E
You won't even cross my mind, from here until closin' time
[Verse]
A D A
Well the good old days are good and gone, since you left without me
A D E
If I could figure out where we went wrong, maybe I'd be free
D E A
These ties that bind my foolish heart, just won't let me start my life again
Bm E A
Then I wouldn't need this lonesome bar, where I come to pretend
[Chorus]
D E A
From here until closin' time, it won't matter you're gone
A Bm D E
Your mem'ry won't break my heart, I can make it on my own
D E A F#m
From now til they lock the doors, put the chairs up and sweep the floors
Bm E D A
You won't even cross my mind, from here until closin' time
[Ending]
A D A
Every afternoon at five o'clock, I forget all about you
