[Verse 1]
AShe's on the western side
DLooking at the Jersey Skyline
AShe's in a real bad mood
DSo she couldn't write back to you
AShe had the longest day
DAnd it's a gridlocked highway
AShe's in a real bad mood
D(F#)
So she couldn't write back to you
[Chorus]
F#Hey AllisoEn! Hey AllisoDn! Hey Allison!
The city is a total disaster without you around
F#Hey AllisoEn! Hey AllisoDn! Hey Allison!
The city is a total disaster without you around
[Verse 2]
AYou spent the days inside
DAvoiding social landmines
AThat poke at every bruiseF#  
Is she Fgonna write back to you?
AYou're an exhausted kid
DOf fractured relationships
AYou wanna crush that gloomF#!
F(F#)
is she gonna write back to you?
[Chorus]
F#Hey AllisoEn! Hey AllisoDn! Hey Allison!
This sudden detachment from friendship is making me ache
F#Hey AllisoEn! Hey AllisoDn! Hey Allison!
This sudden detachment from friendship is making me ache
[Solo]
