Alibi by Robert Francis
Alibi
STANDARD TUNING
A C#m
A
I won't forget the reasons
C#m
I went so far to love you
A
A man is most important
C#m
When he's unmoved by separation
A
And tries to match the tempo
C#m
In which death succeeds creation
A
Burning there to keep you
C#m
All I needed was some patience
D C#m
When you turned into a woman
A D
When I loved you as a child
D C#m
I wanted to protect you
A D ( A ) E
From the things that made you smile
D ( A ) E
My little alibi
E D ( A ) E
Time couldn't change us but we tried

My little alibi

I wanna see you cry

A
I won't forget the reasons
C#m
I went so far to love you
A
The patterns in the trees and winds
C#m
Forgot themselves inside you
A
But I was not the wind
C#m
I was an anchor just to keep you
A
As clean, never fleeting
C#m
Like the innocence that bound you
D C#m
And I hate to say it
A D
But you were bad in every way
D C#m
I guess I had it coming
A D ( A ) E
I feel it still today
D ( A ) E
My little alibi
E D ( A ) E
Time couldn't change us but we tried
E D ( A ) E
My little alibi

I wanna see you cry

From the things that drove you wild
