              G                          D
Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl,
               G
And, with the way you look,
                  F#m7                Bm       A   G
I understand that you were not im - pressed,
                                 F#m7      Bm
But I heard you let that little friend of mine...
C                                 A7sus4   A7
   ...Take off your party dress!


G                    F#m7          Bm
   I'm not gonna get too senti - mental,
 A           G                       F#m7
Like those other sticky Valentines,
Bm   A   G                                  F#m7        Bm
           'Cause I don't know if you were loving some body,
   C                         A7sus4   A7
I only know it isn't mine!


 G     D      G          A      F#m    F#7  Bm
Ali - son, I know this world is kill - ing you,
A         G     D     G       A      D
Oh - oh, Ali - son,       my aim is true!


G                              D
   Well, I see you've got a husband now,
         G                            F#m7             Bm     A  G
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
                          F#m7      Bm
You used to hold him right in your hand,
        C                       A7sus4   A7
But it took all he could take!


G                                  F#m7            Bm
    Sometimes, I wish that I could stop you from talking,
 A      G                             F#m7
When I hear the silly things that you say,
Bm  A  G                           F#m7             Bm
           I think somebody better put out the big light,
           C                         A7sus4   A7
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way!


 G     D      G          A      F#m    F#7  Bm
Ali - son, I know this world is kill - ing you,
A         G     D     G       A      D     G
Oh - oh, Ali - son,       my aim is true,
C       A       D     G     C      A       D    G
    My aim is true,            my aim is true,
C       A       D
    My aim is true!
