F
There's a kid I used to know

Dm                         Bb
His heart exploded one day after school

                     F/C
When we were walking home

F
My mother told me son

Dm
That boys heart was so full up with love that

   Bb                                F/C
It just gave out there wasn't enough room

      F                          
But I heard he wrote a love song

Gm                  Dm
For a girl he never met

                       F
How stupid can one kid get?

F
It was soft and sweet

Gm                             Dm
Miserable but pleasantly upbeat

                   F
And this is how it went:


 
[Chorus]

F        Gm                                Dm
Alison I know this world is killing one of us

                     C                            F
But that could never change the way you smile Whoa

               Gm
And I can't convey

                       Dm
That we just seem to betray

                      C                                 Bb
The way I feel when I see your pretty face from far away

             C                                   F
Knowing that that's the closest that will ever be

 

[Verse 2]

F
It was Sunday after church

Dm                         Bb
The funeral masses crowded out the door

                     F/C
And spilled onto the curb

F
The mothers wiped their tears

    Dm
And held their sons tightly near em

     Bb                                F/C
Said little one don't you ever fall in love

        F                               Gm
But its not the fear of telling her the truth

                               Dm
About the things that he would do

                              F
To make her his that led this whole thing to ensue

                                       Gm
It's just the pain of seeking her each day

                           Dm
The way it's gonna end the same

                           F
How many times you let the right girl get away

 
[Chorus]

F        Gm                                Dm
Alison I know this world is killing one of us

                     C                            F
But that could never change the way you smile Whoa

               Gm
And I can't convey

                       Dm
That we just seem to betray

                      C                                 Bb

             C                                
Knowing that that's the closest that will ever
