[Verse]
            A                           E
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl
            A                             G#m            C#m            B
And by 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                   B
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                        B
I only know it isn't mine


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


[Verse]
        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                              B
But it was all he took all that he could take
  A                           G#m           C#m       B
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
        A                               G#m   C#m   B  
When I hear those silly things that you say         
A                       G#m              C#m 
I think somebody better put out the big light 
        D                           B
Cause I can't stand to see you this way


[Chorus]
A   E    A          B        G#m    C#m   B 
Alison I know this world is killing you...Oh... 
A   E   A     B      E    A   D
Alison     my aim is true
   B       E     A    D      B       E     A    D
My aim is true,           My aim is true     (Repeat - End on E)
