Intro:

E MajorE A minorAm BB (x2)

Verse 1:
E MajorE                         C# minorC#m
I got off work just past 11 laid one finger to the breeze
A augmentedA                              F# minorF#m             BB
You can almost taste the action on nights like these
E MajorE                              C# minorC#m
Trees were bending in the wind you were 40 miles away

A augmentedA                               F# minorF#m                  BB
And I was headed your direction I’d been waiting all day I’d been waiting all
E MajorE
day

E MajorE A minorAm BB (x2)


Verse 2:

E MajorE                    C# minorC#m
Moon over West Covina was huge and white
A augmentedA                                   F# minorF#m            BB
And I was like a patient on a table headed for the light
E MajorE                                C# minorC#m
Leaned toward the center divider feel the wind in my hair
A augmentedA                              F# minorF#m                BB
Keep a light up in your window I'm gonna be right there, I'm gonna be right
E MajorE
there

Chorus:
E MajorE      A minorAm
With a gleam in my eye
    E MajorE    C# minorC#m      A augmentedA      BB
and an almost airtight   alibi
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
E MajorE


Verse 3:
E MajorE                             C# minorC#m
Down by the chemistry building I found a quiet place to park
A augmentedA                                                   F# minorF#m                     BB
And I made my way down the street toward your place stepping lightly in the dark
E MajorE                                           C# minorC#m
Climbed up the steps to your doorway like a man prepared to jump beneath a train
A augmentedA                             F# minorF#m               BB                       E MajorE
Its real warm outside tonight maybe tomorrow it rains maybe tomorrow it rains

E MajorE A minorAm BB (2X)


Verse 4:
E MajorE                                   C# minorC#m
Inside your room we shut the window and we turned on a fan
A augmentedA                                         F# minorF#m                    BB
And we lay there together in the darkness I can keep a secret If you can
E MajorE                                        C# minorC#m
Finishing one another's sentences like a pair of identical twins
A augmentedA
Your boyfriend's out of town until Tuesday
F# minorF#m            BB                              E MajorE
And nobody saw me come in, nobody saw me come in


Chorus:
E MajorE      A minorAm
With a gleam in my eye
    E MajorE    C# minorC#m      A augmentedA      BB
and an almost airtight   alibi
