E C#m
I got off work just past 11 laid one finger to the breeze
A F#m B
You can almost taste the action on nights like these
E C#m
Trees were bending in the wind you were 40 miles away
A F#m B
And I was headed your direction I’d been waiting all day I’d been waiting all
E
day
E Am B (x2)
[Verse 2]
E C#m
Moon over West Covina was huge and white
A F#m B
And I was like a patient on a table headed for the light
E C#m
Leaned toward the center divider feel the wind in my hair
A F#m B
Keep a light up in your window I'm gonna be right there, I'm gonna be right
E
there
[Chorus]
E Am
With a gleam in my eye
E C#m A B
and an almost airtight alibi
E C#m A B
E
[Verse 3]
E C#m
Down by the chemistry building I found a quiet place to park
A F#m B
And I made my way down the street toward your place stepping lightly in the dark
E C#m
Climbed up the steps to your doorway like a man prepared to jump beneath a train
A F#m B E
Its real warm outside tonight maybe tomorrow it rains maybe tomorrow it rains
E Am B (2X)
[Verse 4]
E C#m
Inside your room we shut the window and we turned on a fan
A F#m B
And we lay there together in the darkness I can keep a secret If you can
E C#m
Finishing one another's sentences 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
[Chorus]
E Am
With a gleam in my eye
E C#m A B
and an almost airtight alibi
[Outro]
E C#m A B
E
