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 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 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
Bbstºp 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 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
