You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi

You shake your body on the tv screen
  D               C          Bb       G
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
        G             C               D            D7sus2
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac

Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice


Chorus:
G               C                F            Em
Chasing after stories that have already been told
G               C                F            Em
Cannot look old son house in the eyes
G               C                F     Em
I know where you carry such a fragile load
G                        C                
But I've got yours, and you've got mine
         F
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
