Radney Foster Closing Time written by Radney Foster

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
