Making Excuses
Recorded by Marty Robbins
Written by Phoebe Binkley and Bob Binkley 

G                             D7             G
I've been making excuses ever since you went away
                     D7
Making excuses to my heart
    G                     C
I'm using alibis to cover up for all those lies
            G                D7       G
You’ve been telling me right from the start

C                      G
Making excuses for the times you let me down
D7                           G
I guess I learned a lot from you
C                    G
Making excuses every time you came around
A7                         D7
That's all you knew how to do
    G                                    C
Now that you're gone I find that I can't keep an open mind
       G      D7            G
So I'm making excuses to my heart
