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
