F#m A Bm C#7

[Verse 1]
    F#m      A
I’m sorry now
           Bm         C#7
That I’m a little late
   F#m     A          Bm         C#7
I apologise, that you had to wait
   F#m                A
It totally slipped my mind
  Bm                   C#7
I lost all my sense of time
   F#m
So buy me that drink
    A
And just let me think
         Bm                    C#7
And I’ll tell you the reasons why...


[Chorus]
         F#m
My alibi!
    A
She walked into my life
    Bm
And started up a riot
   C#7          F#m
Of colour & fire!
   A
We woke up in my bed
    Bm
And then we never left
    C#7           F#m
And brother I’m tired!
     A
She said I was fool
    Bm
For only seeing trouble
     C#7          F#m
She opened up my eyes
    A                 Bm  C#7
And now I’ve seen the light
        F#m
My alibi!


[Post Chorus]
    A   Bm  C#7
Ooo ooo ooo
        F#m
My alibi!
    A   Bm  C#7
Ooo ooo ooo

My alibi!


[Verse 2]
    F#m           A
She heard my songs
       Bm   C#7
On the radio
    F#m     A
She heard a voice mmm
           Bm         C#7
She had to get to know
       F#m                  A
So she travelled a thousand miles
           Bm
And when I saw her
           C#7
It blew my mind
  F#m
I knew we’d connect
     A
The moment we met
    Bm                C#7
She made it all worth while...


[Pre Chorus]
    Bm
But I
 Bm7                  E
I’ve still gotta come down, mmmm!
                    Bm7
(down down down down)
                            E
Yeah, I’ve still gotta come down!


[Chorus]
         F#m
My alibi!
    A
She walked into my life
    Bm
And started up a riot
   C#7          F#m
Of colour & fire!
   A
We woke up in my bed
    Bm
And then she never left
    C#7           F#m
And brother I’m tired!
     A
She said I was fool
    Bm
For only seeing trouble
    C#7          Bm
She opened up my eyes
  E
Mmmmm mmm


[Bridge]
            Bm
And now the New York lights

Are in her sights
   E
So soon, she’ll say goodbye
           Bm
Will those summer dreams
                         E
And autumn leaves survive?
    Bm
But I
                      E E7
I’ve still gotta come down
                    Bm
(down down down down)
                      E
I’ve still gotta come down!


[Chorus]
         F#m
My alibi!
    A
She walked into my life
    Bm
And started up a riot
   C#7          F#m
Of colour & fire!
   A
We woke up in my bed
    Bm
And then she never left
    C#7           F#m
And brother I’m tired!
     A
She said I was fool
    Bm
For only seeing trouble
    C#7          Bm
She opened up my eyes
    Bm7               E
And now I’ve seen the light...
      F#m A Bm C#7
My alibi!

F#m A Bm C#7

[Outro]
F#m  A             Bm  C#7
  Alibi, alibi, alibi, yeah!
       F#m
My alibi!
   A             Bm
Alibi, alibi, oh my

Mmm!
C#7
  She was my alibi
F#m      A             Bm
Yeah! Alibi, alibi, alibi
C#7     F#m
My alibi!
   A             Bm
Alibi, alibi, alibi
 C#7
Mmm!
