[Intro]
A E F#m E A
[Chorus]
A
The lights are going down
E
In every city town
A
But you'll be fast asleep
E
There's no one that can keep
A
The dream out of your heart
E
And when you fall apart
A
Just hold your head up high
E E7 D
You have an alibi in me
[Verse 1]
F#m
Can't compromise me for you
A
That kind of trade would never do
F#m
Wearing shoes that don't quite fit
A E
Lose yourself, bit by bit
F#m
Completely alone now
A
Blank page beginning, empty head, the world is spinning
F#m A E
Control the strings, dancing puppets on a stage, a cage
[Chorus]
A
The lights are going down
E
In every city town
A
But you'll be fast asleep
E
There's no one that can keep
A
The dream out of your heart
E
And when you fall apart
A
Just hold your head up high
E E7 A
You have an alibi in me
[Verse 3]
F#m
Late in the afternoon
A
The winter's cold will soon
F#m
Rewrite the summer's lies
A E
With frozen alibis
[Chorus]
A
The lights are going down
E
In every city town
A
But you'll be fast asleep
E
There's no one that can keep
A
The love out of your heart
E
And when you fall apart
A
Just hold your head up high
E E7 A
You have an alibi in me
