Closing Time

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