C D
Listen close, and don't be stoned

I'll be here in the morning

Cause I'm just floating

Your cigarette still burns

Your messed-up world will thrill me
C D
Alison, I'm lost
 
[Refrão]G C
Alison, I said we're sinking

There's nothing here but that's o kay
Bm C
Outside your room, your sister's spinning
C Am G
But she laughs, tells me she's just fine
G D C G
I guess she's out there somewhere

Your messed-up life still thrills me

Alison, I'm lost
 
[Refrão]G C
Alison, I'll drink your wine

I wear your clothes, when we're both high

Alison, I said we're sinking

But you laugh and tells me it's just fine

I guess she's out there somewhere
