    F#m          
You did it, 'cos you want it  
   D      E 
Alibi, alibi  
        F#m 
And you took it, 'cause you need it  
   D      E 
Alibi, alibi  
 
A      E7                  A 
But if I've done something wrong  
            E7      A 
There're no ifs and buts  
         E7               A 
'Cause I love you just as much  
     E7        F#m 
As I hate your guts  
Alibi, alibi, alibi...  
 
You don't need anybody  
Alibi, alibi  
But you are the only one who knows this  
Alibi, alibi  
You deserve it, 'cause you're special  
Alibi, alibi  
Maybe Jesus wants you for a sunbeam  
Alibi, alibi  
 
But if I left something out I apologize 
But if you look in my eyes  
Then I sure you will see  
Alibis, alibis, alibis... 
 
C             Em                 F 
Sometimes I'm so forgiving ohhhh oh  
                 G 
Everything seems bad to me ohhhh oh 
C            Em                  F 
 But I can't go on living ohhhh oh  
With this  
   F#m 
Alibi, alibi, alibi, alibi... 
 
Insane, but I'm mundane  
Alibi, alibi  
and you only wanted to be famous  
Alibi alibi  
Sorry that your mummy doesn't love you  
Alibi, alibi  
Stop me, if you've heard this  
Alibi, alibi  
 
But if I've done something right  
Then don't be surprise  
There are soldiers who will kill 
But be refuse to die  
 
But if I've done something wrong  
There are no ifs and buts  
'Cause I love you just as much  
As I hate your guts  
Alibi, alibi, alibi, alibi... 
 
You were weak 
You couldn't help it  
Alibi, alibi  
But you never had opponent 
Alibi, alibi  
 
But if I left something out I apologize. 
But if you look in my eyes  
Then I sure you will see  
Alibis, alibis, alibis 
 
And you are such a people person  
Alibi, alibi 
And I will be true to you forever 
Alibi, alibi 
But you stupid and you lazy  
Alibi, alibi 
And may be we can make the future better 
Alibi, alibi 
 
But if I've done something wrong  
There's no ifs and buts  
'Cause I love you just as much  
As I hate your guts  
Alibi, alibi, alibi 
 
Sometimes I'm so forgiving ohhhh oh  
Everything seems bad to me ohhhh oh 
But I can't go on living ohhhh oh  
With this  
Alibi, alibi, alibi, 
 
You were happy 
You were poor 
And more honest 
And that's your 
Alibi, alibi 
 
Sister is a whore 
Brother isn´t sure 
Alibi, alibi 
You don't fit the body that you're trapped in 
Alibi, alibi 
Papa's got a brand new  
Alibi, alibi 
 
But if I've done something wrong  
There are no ifs and buts  
'Cause I love you just as much  
As I hate your guts  
 
But if I left something out I apologize. 
But if you look in my eyes  
Then I sure you will see  
Alibis, alibis, alibis
