Chords for Radney Closing Time

[G] Over the last month [E] with this fixing to come out,
_ [G#] and one guy said,
Tim Mitchell, I heard the acoustic version of this album.
I didn't realize what a downer it was.
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I _ _ _ said, well, not all of them are sad songs. _
_ He _ _ _ [E] said _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _
that he thought this next one [A] was the saddest.
_ _ _ [N] _
I told him, yeah, but I said,
country music to me,
the great thing about traditional country music
always was that it was cathartic.
You could be driving down the highway
listening to a country song and you go,
I am [G#m] so much better off now. _ _ _
I mean, he was really hurting.
I mean, he is. _
[A] _ [E] Just gotta feel better about yourself all together.
[B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [B] Every _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
afternoon at five o [G]'clock,
[D] _
I _ [A] forget all about _ you.
_ _ [B] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ There ain't nothing but this honky [Am] _ [D] tonk
_ to remind me [E] of where we're through. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And I [D] can put off going back to [G] that [E] old empty house
you swore _ you'd never [A] _ [B] leave.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] From the loneliness you handed [A] me,
[E] _ _
I could get a [A] brief _ reprieve.
From [G] here [C#m] on [D] to _ _ closing time,
_ [E] _ _
_ it won't matter, [A] you're gone. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I [A#m] can build [B] up [Bm] my _ _ emptiness,
_ _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] maybe make it on [E] my own.
From [B] now [G] till [D] they lock the _ doors,
[E] _ _
_ put the chairs _ [A] up, _ sweep [E] the floor.
_ [F#m] _ _ _
_ You won't [Bm] even _ cross my mind.
_ [A] _ [E] _ _
_ From [C#m] here [D] on to _ closing time.
_ [A] _
Yeah.
Woo!
[E] Yeah.
_ _ [A] Well, the good old days are good and [D] gone. _
_ _ Since you [A] left _ without me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ If I could figure out where we went wrong,
[D] _
_ _ then maybe I'd [E] be _ free. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] These ties that bind my foolish heart
[E]
just won't let me start my [Em] _ [A]
life _ again. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] Then I wouldn't need this lonesome [A] bar
[E] _
where _ I come to [A] pretend.
_ From [Bm] here [C#m] on [D] to _ _ closing _ time,
[E] _ _
_ it won't matter, _ [A] you're gone. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A#] I can build [A] up [Bm] my _ _ emptiness,
_ _ _ [F#m] _ [D] _
_ maybe make it on [E] my own.
From [B] now till [D] they lock the doors,
[E] _ _ _
put the chairs _ [A] up, sweep [E] the floors.
_ [F#m] _ _ _
You [Bm] won't even _ _ cross my mind.
[A] _ [E] _ _ _
From here [Em] on [D] to _ _ closing time.
_ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] Every afternoon at five [G] o [D]'clock, _
_ _ I forget all [A] about _ _ _ you. _ _
