Biography:
Over the past three albums and five years, Toronto’s Celtic rock band Enter The Haggis has found itself at the center of a grassroots success story ever teetering on the brink of mainstream success. From playing Celtic festivals to headlining them, and from the festival circuit to selling out multiple nights in rock venues, ETH has blazed a path with heavy and almost constant touring up and down the East Coast, to Canada, the West Coast and back again, winning over success one fan, one town, one region at a time.

Real Life/Alibis
capo 3rd
Intro: C F C F
Verse 1:
C C7
Saturday morning a while before daylight I’m
F C
Lying here hoping for rain
Gm F C
By tomorrow I could be anywhere
C Gm
Passing streetcars alive without breathing
F C
I’m lost in the city again
Bb F C
Without a purpose I can’t believe anything
Pre-Chorus:
F Am
And I know it’s not my place
G C
To be asking these questions
F C
but I can’t just chase
Bb F
every world that I see because
Chorus:
C F
This isn’t real life
C G Em Am
This isn’t happening
Dm Am
Seems so believable
G C
But it’s not the real thing
F C
This isn’t real life
G Em Am
It’s just some enormous lie
Dm F G C
And I know I’ll be fine this isn’t real life
Verse 2: (see above chords)
Such a mystery
Am I supposed to believe these illusions are real
Out of focus, step out of character
Into a world I can feel
Maybe it’s only a sense of propriety
Keeping us grounded at all
Or we’d run screaming
Into the morning and out of control
Pre-Chorus 2:
G F C G
Maybe I can find some piece of a world I can handle
Em F G
Or a common line, any one sign
E7 A
All a part of me
Chorus 2:
A D A
This isn’t real life
E C#m9
This isn’t happening
F#m Bm
Seems so believable
F#m E A
But it’s not the real thing
Dm A
This isn’t real life
E C#m9
It’s just an enormous lie
F#m Bm D E
And we’ll be fine if we can find a real life

Verse 1:
B
Listen
G C B
The world is listening in
G F#
Every name and number
B G C B
Suddenly I can’t believe my eyes
G A F# G A F# G A
We’re gonna need those alibis
B G C B
Hoping it all just fades away
G F#
Maybe they’re all just paper
B G C B
Airplanes and imaginary cries
G A7
They’re not your neighbour
Chorus:
D G
We all have our alibis
D G
We’ve got our reasons and our reasonable words
A G
But we all just hide our eyes and make believe we never heard
F#m
And when the sirens rise
G A
We’re gonna need those alibis
Bagpipes 2: F# F# Bm Bm E E Bm Bm
F# G A F# G A
Vs. 2
B G C B
Helpless and hopeless on the screen
G F#
Maybe another channel
B G C
Might change the dialogue
B G A7
To talk about it doesn’t hurt at all
Chorus:
D G
We all have our alibis
D G
We’ve got our reasons and our reasonable words
A G
We talk and talk as though there’s nothing to it
F#m
We can change it all
G A7
As long as we don’t have to do it
D G
We all have our alibis
D
We’ve got our reasons and we
G
Lie and lie and lie
D G
We all have our alibis
D
We’ve got our reasons
G
We’ve got our reasons
A G
And if we’re not afraid to fall
A G
We’re not listening at all
F#m
And when the silence fills the sky
G A7
We're gonna need those alibis
Outro: D
What does it matter if they're all lies
