Alison Chords & Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Intro [A] [E]

Oh its so fu[A]nny to be seeing you after s[E]o long girl
A[A]nd by the way you look i understand tha[G#m]t you were not [C#m]impressed
B[A]ut i heard you let that little fr[G#m]iend of m[C#m]ine
T[D]ake off your party d[B7sus4]ress [B7]
I[A]'m not gonna get t[G#m]oo sent[C#m]imental
Like those o[A]ther sticky valen[G#m]tines[C#m]
Ca[A]use i don't know if you were lo[G#m]ving someb[C#m]ody
I[D] only know it isn't mine [B7sus4] [B7]

[A]Alison[E] i [A]know this wo[B]rld is ki[G#m]lling y[C#m]ou
[A]Oh Alison[E] [A] my a[B]im is t[E]rue

Well i s[A]ee you've got a hu[E]sband now
Did he l[A]eave your pretty fingers lying [G#m]in the wedding c[C#m]ake
You u[A]sed to hold him right [G#m]in your h[C#m]and
But he t[D]ook all that he could t[B7sus4]ake [B7]
So[A]metimes i wish that i could s[G#m]top you from ta[C#m]lking
When i h[A]ear those silly th[G#m]ings that you s[C#m]ay
I th[A]ink somebody better [G#m]put out the big l[C#m]ight
(Be)cause i c[D]an't stand to see you this w[B7sus4]ay [B7]

[A]Alison[E] i k[A]now this wo[B]rld is [G#m]killing [C#m]you
Oh [A]Alison[E] [A] my a[B]im is tr[E]ue
[A]my aim is t[E]rue, My [A]aim is tr[E]ue (To fade)
