Chords

Sounds good using cowboy chords or barre chords, but I think this voicing for the D chord sounds the best D 554030 Main lead (repeat twice for intro). Varies slightly throughout verses

[Intro] Em G D A (x2) [Verse 1]
Em              G
We open up on a battle scene

D            A
It's hard to see

Em                       G               D            A
Just tired of lookin' at all this ancient history

Em                 G
The need to define and really refine

D           A
What's over me

Em                    G             D        A
I still get lost in familiar places constantly
[Chorus]
G
Alibi

G                          A
It's nice when they're not needed

G
You're all tongue tied

G                A
Remember how you pleaded?
[Verse 2]
Em                     G
The missing pieces surround you

          D      A
Just like fireflies

Em                        G               D          A
I'm tired of running from what I'll never realize

Em                  G
I need to turn down

                   D         A
I need to burn down and sacrifice

Em                     G             D        A
The way that I used to look out into tainted eyes
[Chorus 2]
G
Alibi

G                          A
It's nice when they're not needed

G
You're all tongue tied

G                A
Remember how you pleaded?
[Bridge]
D
Oh, I said I was gonna

D
I'll change if you wanna

      B
Still need to fill the void

         G
Oh, it's too loud for silence

G
But never too late to try it

A
Again
[Intro] Em G D A (x2) [Verse 3]
Em                    G               D      A
I'm over-thinking the meaning of just how to be

Em                    G                     D       A
I need the feeling of nothing, there's just you and me
[Chorus 3] (x2)
G
Alibi

G                          A
It's nice when they're not needed

G
You're all tongue tied

G                A
Remember how you pleaded?
[Outro] Em G D A (x2) ************************************ | r Release | b Bend ************************************
