Amaj7                        B
Listen close, and don't be stoned
B                    Amaj7
I'll be here in the morning
Amaj7            B
Cause I'm just floating
Amaj7                 B
Your cigarette still burns
B                          Amaj7
Your messed-up world will thrill me
Amaj7 B
Alison, I'm lost

Chorus:
E                    Amaj7
Alison, I said we're sinking
E                                Amaj7
There's nothing here but that's okay
E                                 Amaj7
Outside your room, your  sister's spinning
Amaj7     D                        E
But she lies, tells me she's just fine
E B                      Amaj7    E
I guess she's out there somewhere

And the sailors, they strike poses
TV covered walls
End so slowly
With your talking and your pills
Your messed-up life still thrills me
Alison, I'm lost

Chorus:
Alison, I'll drink your wine
I'll wear your clothes when we're both high
"Alison," I said, "We're sinking"
But she laughs and tells me it's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere
