A D x2
[Verse 1]
A
She's on the western side
D
Looking at the Jersey Skyline
A
She's in a real bad mood
D
So she couldn't write back to you
A
She had the longest day
D
And it's a gridlocked highway
A
She's in a real bad mood
D (F#)
So she couldn't write back to you
[Chorus]
F# E D
Hey Allison! Hey Allison! Hey Allison!
The city is a total disaster without you around
F# E D
Hey Allison! Hey Allison! Hey Allison!
The city is a total disaster without you around
[Verse 2]
A
You spent the days inside
D
Avoiding social landmines
A F#
That poke at every bruise
F
Is she gonna write back to you?
A
You're an exhausted kid
D
Of fractured relationships
A F#
You wanna crush that gloom!
F (F#)
is she gonna write back to you?
[Chorus]
F# E D
Hey Allison! Hey Allison! Hey Allison!
This sudden detachment from friendship is making me ache
F# E D
Hey Allison! Hey Allison! Hey Allison!
This sudden detachment from friendship is making me ache
