Alibi

E                         C#m
I got off work just past 11 laid one
 finger to the breeze
A                              
You can almost taste the action
F#m             B
 on nights like these
E                              
Trees were bending in the wind you 
C#m
were 40 miles away

A                               
And I was headed your direction 
F#m                  B
I’d been waiting all day I’d been 
waiting all
E
day

E Am B (x2)

[Verse 2]

E                    C#m
Moon over West Covina was huge and 
white
A                                 
And I was like a patient on a 
  F#m            B
table headed for the light
E                                
Leaned toward the center divider 
C#m
feel the wind in my hair
A                              
Keep a light up in your window 
F#m                B
I'm gonna be right there, I'm gonna 
be right

E
there

[Chorus]
E      Am
With a gleam in my eye
    E    C#m      A      B
and an almost airtight   alibi
E C#m A B
E

[Verse 3]
E                             C#m
Down by the chemistry building I 
found a quiet place to park
A                                 
And I made my way down the street 
                  F#m              
toward your place stepping lightly 
       B
in the dark
E                                 
Climbed up the steps to your 
          C#m
doorway like a man prepared to jump 
beneath a train
A                             F#m
Its real warm outside tonight 
               B             
maybe tomorrow it rains maybe 
          E
tomorrow it rains

E Am B (2X)

[Verse 4]
E                                 
Inside your room we shut the 
  C#m
window and we turned on a fan
A                              
And we lay there together in the 
           F#m                    
darkness I can keep a secret If you 
B
can
E                                 
Finishing one another's sentences 
       C#m
like a pair of identical twins
A
Your boyfriend's out of town until 
Tuesday
F#m            B                 
And nobody saw me come in, nobody
             E
 saw me come in

[Chorus]
E      Am
With a gleam in my eye
    E    C#m      A      B
and an almost airtight   alibi
