Alibi (album version from Babylon Springs)
E Am B (x2)
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
C#m
You were 40 miles away
A
And I was headed your direction
F#m B (E)
I'd been waiting all day, I'd been waiting all day
E Am B (x2)
E
Moon over West Covina
C#m
Was huge and white
A
And I was like a patient on a table
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
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
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
