Bb
Every afternoon at five o'clock
Eb           Bb
I forget all about you
Bb
There ain't nothin' 'bout this honky-tonk
Eb                 F
To remind me we're through
              Eb
And I can put off going back
            F                           Bb
To that ol' empty house you swore you'd never leave
         Cm
From the loneliness you handed me
F                 Bb
I can get a brief reprieve
                Eb
From here until closing time
F                      Bb
It won't matter you're gone
      Gm          Cm
I can fill up my emptiness
      Eb            F
Maybe make it on my own
                  Eb
From now til they lock the doors
F                      Bb                  Gm
Put the chairs up and sweep the floors
               Cm
You won't even cross my mind
F               Eb      Bb     F
From here until closing time
Bb
Well the good old days are good and gone
Eb                Bb
Since you left without me
Bb
If I could figure out where we went wrong
Eb                F
Then maybe I'd be free
           Eb
From these ties that bind my foolish heart
F                              Bb         
And just won't let me start my life again
       Cm
Then I wouldn't need this lonesome bar
F               Bb
Where I come to pretend
                Eb
From here until closing time
F                      Bb
It won't matter you're gone
     Gm           Cm
Your memory won't break my heart
      Eb            F
I can make it on my own
                  Eb
From now til they lock the doors
F                       Bb           Gm
Put the chairs up and sweep the floors
               Cm
You won't even cross my mind
F               Eb               Bb  F
From here until closing time
      Bb
Every afternoon at five o'clock
Eb                 Bb
I forget all about you
