C#5  E5          Ab5       B5
Valentino got a booky shop
C#5         E5        Ab5       Ab5   
And what he takes he gives for what he's got
C#5           E5      Ab5         B5
And what he's got he says he has not
C#5   E5          Ab5 Ab5
Stole from anyone

Bridge
C#5                    Ab5
It's not that he don't tell the truth
C#5             F#5
Or even that he misspent his youth
C#5          Ab5
It's just he holds the proof

But you know something's wrong

Chorus
E5                     E5                     Ab5      A5 B5

Valentino's in a cold sweat
C#5            E5             Ab5       Ab5   
Placed all his money on that last bet
C#5            E5        Ab5            B5
Against all the odds he smokes another cigarette
C#5     E5                Ab5       Ab5
Says it helps him to forget he's a nervous wreck

Bridge
C#5              Ab5
It's not that he misses much
C#5             F#5
Or even that he lost his lucky touch
C#5               Ab5
It's just that he gambles so much
A5                      B5
And you know that it's wrong

Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)
Ab5                            A5 B5
Waiting just to catch your eye
E5                     E5

Try to say I told you I told you

Waiting just to catch your eye
E5                     E5                     Ab5      A5 B5
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

Verse  3
C#5  E5        Ab5       B5
Valentino got nowhere to go
C#5    E5        Ab5       Ab5   
On his own like Romeo
C#5     E5       Ab5         B5
Blow by blow he watches his money go 
C#5      E5          Ab5 Ab5
Now he's oh so low 

Bridge
C#5              Ab5
It's not that he misses her 
C#5             F#5

It's just that kissing her

He feels so strong

E5                     E5
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)
Ab5                   A5 B5
Try to say I told you

Waiting for an alibi
E5                     E5      Ab5      A5 B5
