capo 3rd

Intro: C majorC FF C majorC FF


Verse 1:

C majorC         C7C7
Saturday morning a while before daylight I’m
FF           C majorC
Lying here hoping for rain
   G minorGm  FF      C majorC
By tomorrow I could be anywhere
C majorC         G minorGm
Passing streetcars alive without breathing
  FF         C majorC
I’m lost in the city again
     Bb majorBb   FF        C majorC
Without a purpose I can’t believe anything

Pre-Chorus:

        FF   A minorAm
And I know it’s not my place
   G+G      C majorC
To be asking these questions
   FF     C majorC
but I can’t just chase
   Bb majorBb      FF
every world that I see because


Chorus:

C majorC     FF
This isn’t real life
C majorC  G+G   E minorEm    A minorAm
This isn’t happening
     DmDm    A minorAm
Seems so believable
G+G           C majorC
But it’s not the real thing
     FF     C majorC
This isn’t real life
   G+G     E minorEm   A minorAm
It’s just some enormous lie
  DmDm       FF        G+G  C majorC
And I know I’ll be fine this isn’t real life

Verse 2: (see above chords)

Such a mystery
A minorAm I supposed to believe these illusions are real
Out of focus, step out of character
Into a world I can feel
Maybe it’s only a sense of propriety
Keeping us grounded at all
Or we’d run screaming
Into the morning and out of control


Pre-Chorus 2:

G+G   FF        C majorC         G+G
Maybe I can find some piece of a world I can handle
E minorEm  FF      G+G
Or a common line, any one sign
E7E7      A augmentedA
All a part of me


Chorus 2:

A augmentedA     D MajorD    A augmentedA
This isn’t real life
E MajorE       C#m9C#m9
This isn’t happening
     F# minorF#m   B minorBm
Seems so believable
  F# minorF#m     E MajorE  A augmentedA
But it’s not the real thing
      DmDm   A augmentedA
This isn’t real life
   E MajorE        C#m9C#m9
It’s just an enormous lie
  F# minorF#m   B minorBm   D MajorD       E MajorE
And we’ll be fine if we can find a real life


Outro:

Verse 1:

BB
Listen
  G+G    C majorC    BB
The world is listening in
   G+G    F#F#
Every name and number
BB     G+G    C majorC    BB
Suddenly I can’t believe my eyes
      G+G     A augmentedA  F#F# G+G A augmentedA F#F# G+G A augmentedA
We’re gonna need those alibis
BB     G+G    C majorC   BB
Hoping it all just fades away
       G+G    F#F#
Maybe they’re all just paper
BB      G+G   C majorC   BB
Airplanes and imaginary cries
    G+G    A7A7
They’re not your neighbour


Chorus:

D MajorD        G+G
We all have our alibis
D MajorD               G+G
We’ve got our reasons and our reasonable words
    A augmentedA                G+G
But we all just hide our eyes and make believe we never heard
  F# minorF#m
And when the sirens rise
   G+G        A augmentedA
We’re gonna need those alibis

Vs. 2

BB      G+G    C majorC   BB
Helpless and hopeless on the screen
    G+G   F#F#
Maybe another channel
BB        G+G C majorC
Might change the dialogue
  BB       G+G       A7A7
To talk about it doesn’t hurt at all


Chorus:

D MajorD        G+G
We all have our alibis
 D MajorD              G+G
We’ve got our reasons and our reasonable words
  A augmentedA                   G+G
We talk and talk as though there’s nothing to it
F# minorF#m
We can change it all
  G+G        A7A7
As long as we don’t have to do it
D MajorD        G+G
We all have our alibis
D MajorD
We’ve got our reasons and we
G+G
Lie and lie and lie
D MajorD        G+G
We all have our alibis
D MajorD
We’ve got our reasons
G+G
We’ve got our reasons

       A augmentedA       G+G
And if we’re not afraid to fall
     A augmentedA      G+G
We’re not listening at all
  F# minorF#m
And when the silence fills the sky
   G+G        A7A7
We're gonna need those alibis


Outro: D MajorD
What does it matter if they're all lies
