STANDARD TUNING
A C#m
 I Awon't forget the reasons
 I C#mwent so far to love you
 A Aman is most important
 When he's unC#mmoved by separation
 And Atries to match the tempo
 In which C#mdeath succeeds creation
 ABurning there to keep you
 All I C#mneeded was some patience
 When you Dturned into a womanC#m  
 When I Aloved you as a Dchild
 I Dwanted to proC#mtect you
                               A    D(  A)  E  
 From the things that made you smile

 My little alibi
                                E    D(  A) E

 The Apatterns in the trees and winds
 ForC#mgot themselves inside you
 But AI was not the wind
 I was an aC#mnchor just to keep you
 As Aclean, never fleeting
 Like the C#minnocence that bound you
 And DI hate to sC#may it
 But you were Abad in every wDay
 I Dguess I had it C#mcoming
                A      D(  A) E  
 I feel it still today
                D(  A) E  
 My little alibi

I guess I had it coming
