G           C                            G
Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl,
             C                               Bm             Em       D
And with the way you look, I understand that you were not impressed.
C                               Bm        Em
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
F                            C  D7
Take off your party dress


C                    Bm       Em          D
I'm not going to get too sentimental like those
C                         Bm  Em
other sticky valentines.
C                                  Bm         Em
'Cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody;
F                            C  D7
I only know it isn't mine.

C  G      C         D        Bm      Em    D
Alison, I know this world is killing you , Oh,
C  G    C  D      G
Alison, my aim is true.

Well, I see you've got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand;
I'll bet he took all he could take.


Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say.
I think somebody better put out the big light,
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way


Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison¼  My aim is true.
My aim is true.
