Alibi Acoustic
30 Seconds To Mars
Text File
This is the way Mr Leto plays it live on the acoustic guitar.
It's basically this:
in 4/4
Verse: Gm Gm Fm Fm
Chorus: Gm Gm Fm Fm
with a variation of Am Am Gm Gm on the higher notes
and Fm Fm Gm Gm on the "Oooeyoo..." part
strumming: down strokes for the most part, but feel free to get creative.
Verse 1:
Gm Fm
No warning sign, no alibi,
Gm
We faded faster than the speed of light
Fm
Took our chance, crashed and burned,
No, we'll never ever learn
CHORUS:
Gm Fm
I fell apart, but got back up again,
Gm Fm
I fell apart, but got back up again
Gm Fm
And then I fell apart, then got back up again
Gm Gm Fm Fm
Verse 2:
We both could see crystal clear
That the inevitable end was near
Made our choice, a trial by fire,
The battle is the only way we feel alive�
CHORUS:
Gm Fm
I fell apart, but got back up again
Gm Fm
I fell apart, but got back up again
Am Gm
And then I fell apart, but got back up again,
Fm
Oeyooo, Oeyooo,
Gm
Oeyooo, Oeyooo,
Fm
Oeyooo, Oeyooo,
Gm
Verse 3:
So here we are, witching hour,
The quickest tongue to divide and devour
Divide and devour
If I could end the quest for fire,
For truth, for love, for my desire,
My soul�
CHORUS...
He never quite gets to the 3rd verse and the last chorus live, but you get the point :)
In the man's own words "take it, modify it, make it your own..."
Use this for reference (if you can stand all the screaming, that is :)) )
