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!

Well, I see you've got a husband now,
G F#m7 Bm A G
And, you leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake,

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,

My aim is true, my aim is true,
C A D
My aim is true!
