[Verse 1]
[G]Oh,[F][G][Dm][Em][G]
it's so [F]funny to be seeing you after [C]so long, girl
The [F]way you look,
I understand that [Em]you were not i[F]mpressed
I heard you let that little [Em]friend of [F]mine
[Bb]take off your party [G]dress
[F]I'm not gonna get [Em]too sentimenta[F]l
[G]like those [F]other stick -of
[Em]-valentines
[Am]Cause [G]I d[F]on't know if
you [Em]were lov[F]in' somebody
I [Bb]only know that isn't [G]mine[F]
[C]Alison, [F]I know t[G]his world
is [Em]killing [F]you[G][F]
[C]Alison, [F]my aim[G] is tru[C]e
[F]When I see you got a h[C]usband now
You [F]leave your pretty fingers
like [Em]in the wedding cake
[G]You [F]used to hold him right
[Em]in your hand
[Am]But [Bb]it took [G]everything
that he could take
Some[F]times I wish that I could
[Em]stop you from [G]talking
When [F]I hear the silly things that you [Em]say
[Am]I th[G]ink [F]somebody better
[Em]put out the big light
[Am]Cause I can'[Bb]t stand to
see you [C]this [G]way[F]
[C]Allison
I [F]know [G]this world is [Em]killing [Am]you[G][F]
[C]Allison
[F]My [G]aim is tru[C]e.[F]
[Bb]My a[G]im is true[C].[F]
[Bb]My a[G]im is true[C].[F][Bb][G][C]
[F]My [Bb]aim is [G]true.[C][F]
[Bb]Laugh [G]everyone at the clown,
[C]he'[F]s the best one in [G]town
[Bb]But [G]some[C]wher[F]e[Bb]
[G]deep in his shell
[F]There's an ember of [Bb]pride[G][C][F]
[Bb]People [G]say I'm the life of [F]the party
Cuz I [G]tell a joke or [C]two[F]
Although I [Bb]may b[G]e laughing l[C]oud [F]and hard
[Bb]Deep inside [G]I'm blue[C][F]
So take a [Bb]good look at my face
[C]You[F]'ll see my smi[Bb]le
look[C]s out of [Bb]place[C][F]
If you look [Bb]closer it's [G]easy [F]to [C]trace[F]
[Bb]The [G]tracks of my t[C]ears[F]
[Bb]The [G]tracks of my t[C]ears[F]
[Bb]Just[G] like how that archer di[F]d
[Bb]I'm gonna [G]keep my
sad[C]ness [F]hidden
Though I'm [Bb]smiling [G]in the public [C]eye
[F]In my [Bb]lonely room I cry
[C]The [F]tears of a clo[Bb]wn
[C]The [F]tears of a c[Bb]lown[G][C]
[F]No spo[Bb]nge has the pow[G]er
[C]To absorb the [F]shower
Of [Bb]what pancake and powder
[G]Couldn't cov[C]er[F]
[Bb]But [G]today as I loo[C]k in the[F] mirror
[Bb]I se[G]e things a whole lot cle[Am]arer now
[F]No [Bb]more [C]tear[Bb] -stained
[C]make [F]-up [Bb]for m[G]e[C][F]
[Bb]No more te[B]ar -st[G]ained make
[C]-up [F]for me [Bb]me.[G][Bb][C][F]
[Bb]Cloud [G]time is [C]over[F].
[Bb]Cloud time is [C]over[F] .
[Bb]Cloud [G]time is [C]over[F].
[Bb]It's over[G]. It's o[C]ver. I[F]t's over.
[Bb]It's over[C]. over. I[F]t's over.
Whoa, [Bb]ho, ho[G][C][Bb][F][Bb][G][C]
