Tabbed by Pinky [Intro] B G#m A C#m B F#m G#m G#m B [Verse 1]
            A                            E
Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl

             A                              G#m            C#m     B
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                     B7sus4  B7
 Take off your party dress

A                  G#m      C#m
 I'm not gonna get too sentimental

B          A                  G#m    C#m  B
Like those other sticky valentines

A                                G#m        C#m
 'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody

  D                      B7sus4  B7
I only know it isn't mine
[Chorus]
A   E     A         B        G#m G#7 C#m
Alison, I know this world is killing you

B   A   E    A     B      E
Oh, Alison     my aim is true
[Verse 2]
A                          E
  Well, I see you've got a husband now

       A                               G#m            C#m  B
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                  B7sus4  B7
I'll bet 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  B
When I hear the silly things that you say

A                        G#m                 C#m
 I think somebody better put out the big light

          D                          B7sus4  B7
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way
[Chorus]
A   E     A         B        G#m G#7 C#m
Alison, I know this world is killing you

B   A   E    A     B      E   A
Oh, Alison     my aim is true
[Outro]
D    B       E   A
  My aim is true

D    B       E   A
  My aim is true
