[B] [Abm]
[Gb] [Abm] [B] [A] Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you [E] after so long, girl.
[A] The way you look, I understand [Ab] that you were [Dbm] not impressed.
[A] But I heard you let that [Abm] little friend of [Dbm] mine
[D] kick off your party [B] dress.
[A] I'm not going to get [Ab] too sentimental like [A] those other
stick of [Abm] valentines.
[Dbm]

[A] my [B] aim is [E] true.
[A] Well, I see [E] you got a husband now.
[A] You leave your pretty fingers [Abm] lying in the [Dbm] wedding cake.
[A] You used to hold him [Abm] right in your [Dbm] hand.
[D] I bet it took all he could [B] take.
[A] Sometimes I wish that I [Abm] could [Dbm] stop you from talking.
[A] Then I hear the silly things that [Abm] you say.
[Dbm]
[A] I think somebody [Abm] better put out the [Dbm] big light.
Because I [D] can't stand to see [B] you this way.
[A] [E] Allison, [A] I know [B] this world [Abm] is killing [Dbm] you.
