Am1
First stop was the bucket shop
Am2
To pick the pieces of your life up
And scream looking glad
Am4
Since all that you despised
(repeat)
You re thinking back to the Chicken Shack
And the smashing of the glass
And the knife in the back, well
My boy who would ve believed your lies?
All your lies?

And no-one s going to sell you any alibis

Alibis
--Now he arpegiates the same chords played in first verse:--
, Am1, Am2, , , and them strums - Am5 - x2
----silence here----------Am-Am5-Am x2
You dirty small town girls
----silence here----------C
How I wish you were here now
-Am5- x2
And show me how to be the man,
I m your man
As only you can, as only you can
-Am5- x2
My White City girl
(just the same again)
Well someone said you were an angel
Only what kind of angel
Would whisper hello
And shout goodbye
My White City girl
And I ve seen you go down
- -
On one too many times
It chills my bones to seem that way
Oh that way
-Am5- x2
And this aching heart of mine
(NOW REPEAT ALL)
You said you live your life by the Albion creed
So pure in thoughts and word and deed
Well, oh my boy, what did you gain?
Just empty bottles and ... roots
And holes in the years of your cowboy boots
And that makes she ll never forget your name
Or your lies...
And no-one s going to sell you any alibis
Alibis
