B  G#m  A  C#m  B  F#m  G#m  G#m  B

             A         B	        G#m      C#m
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
             A               B               G#m             C#m	
And with the way you look, I understand that you are not impressed
A                               G#m      C#m	
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
D                   Bsus4/B	
Take off your party dress

A                 G#m      C#m	
I'm not gonna get too sentimental
B          A                      G#m  C#m	
Like those other sticky valentines,
A                              G#m	  C#m
'Cause I don't know if you are loving somebody
D                    Bsus4/B
I only know it isn't mine

A  E    A 	    G#m      C#m     A
Alison, I know this world is killing you
A      E    A  B      E   C#m
Oh, Alison, my aim is true

A     B               G#m     C#m
Well, I see you got a husband now
        A                B             G#m            C#m
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake? 
A                          G#m     C#m
You used to hold him right in your hand
D	                 Bsus4/B
Til he took all he could take
 
A                             G#m           C#m
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
B      A                              G#m   C#m
When I hear the silly things that you say
A                       G#m             C#m
I think somebody better put out the big light
        D	                    Bsus4/B
Cause I can't stand to see you this way

A  E    A           G#m      C#m     A
Alison, I know this world is killing you

A  B   E  C#m
My aim is true
