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
