Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl

 1   1    1  -1  -2   -2 -1  3 -2  -2   -1  -3   4   4   -3  -5

But I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress
-3* -5 -5   -5  -5   -5  -5  4     4   4   -3   3    3  -2   -3  3  3  2

I'm not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines
-5  -5  -5  5 -5  -5   5 -3 -3  3  3    -2   -5 5   4 -3   4 -3 4 -3

'Cause I don't know if you are loving somebody  I only know it isn't mine

Well I see you've got a husband now
 1   1 -1   -2    -2 -2  -3 -1  -1 1

Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
 1   1   -1   -2  -2  -1  3  -2  -2 -1 -3  4   4  -3  -5

You used to hold him right in your hand
 -5  -5  -5  -5  -5 -5 -3   4  4  -3 3 -2

I'll bet he took all he could take
 -1  -1*  -2  3   -2  3  -3*  4 -3

Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
 -5  -5  -5  -5   5   5  -3*   -5   5    5  -3  3

When I hear the silly things that you say
 3  -2  -5   4  4 -3    4    -3   -5   5 3 -3

I think somebody better put out the big light
-6  -5  -6 -5 -6 -5 -6  -5   4  -3   4   -3

'Cause I can't stand to see you this way
  3   -2  -3     3   -2 -3   4   4   4 -3

Alison,       I know this world is killing you, oh
