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

G                    C 
Alison, I said we're sinking 
G                                  C 
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 

Verso: 

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


G                       C 
Alison, I'll drink your wine 
G                                    C 
I wear your clothes, when we're both high 
Bm                    C 
Alison, I said we're sinking 
C         Am                          G 
But you laugh and tells me it's just fine 
G D                       C         G 
I guess she's out there somewhere
