C/B: 020100

[Am]First stop was the [Am1]bucket shop
To [Am2]pick the pieces of your [D7]life up
And [Dm7]scream looking [E]glad
Since all that you [Am]despised[Am4]
(repeat)
You're thinking back to the Chicken Shack
And the smashing of the glass
And the knife in the back, well
My boy who would've believed your lies?
All your lies?
And [Am]no-one's going to [C]sell you any [G-G#-Am]alibis
[G-G#-Am]Alibis
--Now he arpegiates the same chords played in first verse:--
Am, Am1, Am2, D7, Dm7, E and them strums Am - Am5 -Am x2
----silence here----------Am-Am5-Am x2
You dirty small town girls
----silence here----------C
How I wish you were here now
E Am-Am5-Am x2
And show me how to be the man,
I'm your man
As only you [C]can, as only you c[E]an
Am-Am5-Am x2
My White City girl
(just the same again)
Well someone said you were an angel
Only what kind of angel
Would whisper 'hello'
And shout 'goodbye'
My White City girl
And I[F]'ve seen you go [G]down
On one too many [C]ti[-]me[C/B]s[-][Am]
[F]It chills my bones to [G]seem that way
[E]Oh that way
Am-Am5-Am x2
And this aching heart of mine
(NOW REPEAT ALL)
You said you live your life by the Albion creed
So pure in thoughts and word and deed
Well, oh my boy, what did you gain?
Just empty bottles and ... roots
And holes in the years of your cowboy boots
And that makes she'll never forget your name
Or your lies...
And no-one's going to sell you any alibis
