to pick the pieces of your life up
Dm7 E
and scream looking glad
Am 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?
Am C G – G# – Am
and no – one’s going to sell you any alibis
G – G# – Am
alibis
– – now he arpegiates the same chords played in first verse : – –
Am , Am1 , Am2 , D7 , Dm7 , E and them strums Am – Am5 – Am x2
– – – – silence here – – – – – – – – – – Am – Am5 – Am x2
you dirty small town girls
– – – – silence here – – – – – – – – – – C
how i wish you were here now
E Am – Am5 – Am x2
and show me how to be the man ,
i’m your man
C E
as only you can , as only you can
Am – Am5 – Am 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
F G
and i’ve seen you go down
C – C/B – Am
on one too many times
F G
it chills my bones to seem that way
E
oh that way
Am – Am5 – Am 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
