Real Lifealibis

Intro:  C F C F
Verse 1:
C                  C7
Saturday morning a while before daylight I’m
F                     C
Lying here hoping for rain
     Gm    F           C
By tomorrow I could be anywhere
C                 Gm
Passing streetcars alive without breathing
    F                  C
I’m lost in the city again
          Bb     F                C
Without a purpose I can’t believe anything
Pre-Chorus:
                F      Am
And I know it’s not my place
      G            C
To be asking these questions
      F          C
but I can’t just chase
      Bb           F
every world that I see because
Chorus:
C          F
This isn’t real life
C    G     Em       Am
This isn’t happening
         Dm        Am
Seems so believable
G                     C
But it’s not the real thing
          F         C
This isn’t real life
     G         Em      Am
It’s just some enormous lie
   Dm              F               G    C
And I know I’ll be fine this isn’t real life
Verse 2:  (see above chords)
Such a mystery
Am I supposed to believe these illusions are real
Out of focus, step out of character
Into a world I can feel
Maybe it’s only a sense of propriety
Keeping us grounded at all
Or we’d run screaming
Into the morning and out of control
Pre-Chorus 2:
G     F               C                 G
Maybe I can find some piece of a world I can handle
Em   F           G
Or a common line, any one sign
E7            A
All a part of me
Chorus 2:
A          D        A
This isn’t real life
E              C#m9
This isn’t happening
          F#m      Bm
Seems so believable
    F#m          E    A
But it’s not the real thing
           Dm      A
This isn’t real life
     E                C#m9
It’s just an enormous lie
    F#m      Bm      D             E
And we’ll be fine if we can find a real life
Outro:

Verse 1:
B
Listen
    G        C        B
The world is listening in
      G        F#
Every name and number
B          G       C        B
Suddenly I can’t believe my eyes
            G          A   F# G A F# G A
We’re gonna need those alibis
B         G        C      B
Hoping it all just fades away
              G        F#
Maybe they’re all just paper
B            G     C     B
Airplanes and imaginary cries
        G       A7
They’re not your neighbour
Chorus:
D                G
We all have our alibis
D                             G
We’ve got our reasons and our reasonable words
       A                               G
But we all just hide our eyes and make believe we never heard
   F#m
And when the sirens rise
     G                A
We’re gonna need those alibis

Vs. 2
B            G        C      B
Helpless and hopeless on the screen
        G     F#
Maybe another channel
B                G  C
Might change the dialogue
   B             G              A7
To talk about it doesn’t hurt at all
Chorus:
D               G
We all have our alibis
 D                           G
We’ve got our reasons and our reasonable words
   A                                      G
We talk and talk as though there’s nothing to it
F#m
We can change it all
   G                A7
As long as we don’t have to do it
D               G
We all have our alibis
D
We’ve got our reasons and we
G
Lie and lie and lie
D               G
We all have our alibis
D
We’ve got our reasons
G
We’ve got our reasons
             A             G
And if we’re not afraid to fall
          A            G
We’re not listening at all
    F#m
And when the silence fills the sky
      G                A7
We're gonna need those alibis
