■ ■ ■ ■ ■   ■   ■
           A                            E           
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl
             A                              G#m7     G#7 C#m      
And with the way you look I understand that you were 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
           A            G#m7       G#m
Like those other sticky valentines ■  
A                                G#m    C#m     
■ 'cause I don't know if you are loving somebody
  D                  B   
I only know it isn't mine


[Chorus]
A E         A    B             G#7     C#m
■ Allison I know this world is killing you
A  E       A  B      E   
Oh Allison my aim is true


[Verse]
A                         E          
■ Well I see you've got a husband now
       A                               G#m            C#m 
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake
A                            G#m7    C#m7
■ You used to hold him right in your hand
    D                         Bsus4 B
But it took all that he could take  ■
A                             G#7           C#m    
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
       A                              G#m G#m7 C#m
When I hear the silly things that you say ■    ■  
A                         G#m7            C#m  
■ I think somebody better put out the big light
         D                      B7   B   A
'cause I can't stand to see you this way ■


[Chorus]
E         A    B             G#m     C#m
Allison I know this world is killing you
A  E       A    B      E    E7 A
Oh Allison ■ my aim is true ■  ■
