-Chorus bit: E A7
+E
 I got off work just past 11
+C#m
 Laid one finger to the breeze
+A
 You can almost taste the action
+F#m                  B
 On nights like these
+E
 Trees were bending in the wind
-And you were 40 miles away
+C#m
+You were 40 miles away
+    A
 And I was headed your direction
-I'd been waiting all day, i'd been waiting all day
+F#m                      B                      (E)
+I'd been waiting all day, I'd been waiting all day

+E
 Moon over West Covina
+C#m
 Was huge and white
+    A
 And I was like a patient on a table
-Headed toward the light
+F#m                  B
+Headed for the light
+E
 Leaned toward the center divider
+C#m
 Feel the wind in my hair
+A
 Keep a light up in your window
+F#m                      B                     (E)
 I'm gonna be right there, I'm gonna be right there
+E                  Am
 With a gleam in my eye
-and an almost airtight alibi
+       E      C#m      A       B
+and an almost airtight   alibi
+E C#m A B
+E
+E
 Down by the Chemistry building
+C#m
 I found a quiet place to park
+       A
 And I made my way down the street toward your place
+F#m                         B
 Stepping lightly in the dark
+E
 Climbed the steps up to your doorway
+       C#m
 Like a man prepared to jump beneath a train
+          A
 It's real warm outside tonight
+F#m                     B                     (E)
 Maybe tomorrow it rains, maybe tomorrow it rains
+E Am B (x2)
+E
 Inside your room we shut the window
+C#m
 And we turned on a fan
+       A
 And we lay there together in the darkness
+F#m                            B
 I can keep a secret if you can
+E
 Finishing one another's sentences
+       C#m
 Like a pair of identical twins
+     A
 Your boyfriend's out of town until Tuesday
+F#m                       B                   (E)
 And nobody saw me come in, nobody saw me come in
-With a gleam in my eye and an almost airtight alibi
+E                  Am
+With a gleam in my eye
+       E      C#m      A       B
+And an almost airtight   alibi
+E C#m A B
+E
+E Am B (x4)
+End on an E chord
+Thanks to Dan and others for starting this off
+I just fixed a few errors and typed it out/formatted for readability

+I'm thinkin' this is how it goes for this one
+There's a rundown at the A chord during the verse.
+Goes A /(G#)/(F#)/(E) with the notes in parentheses being the bassnotes on the 5th/6th strings.
+Verses: E C#m A /G#/F#/E F#m B
