           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    B
 I'm not gonna get too sentimental like those 
A                   G#m     C#m    B
other sticky valentines
A                                G#m        C#m
 'cause I don't know if you are loving somebody
  D                  B7sus4  B7
I only know it isn't mine.

Chorus

Alison, I   know  this world is   killing you, oh

Alison, my aim is true.



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


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

   A    D   B7   
E  A    D   B7  
My aim is true ...
E  A    D   B7
