[A#] [G]
We want to thank you [E] so much for coming out tonight.
[G] For being such good sports [A] and coming up and spinning the big [D#] wheel.
The spectacular spinning song [C#] booth.
If you didn't [G] hear your favorite, come again and [Em] find us.
And maybe it'll be your turn to spin the wheel.
Once again, on the bass guitar and vocals, Mr.
Davey Farragut.
[B]
On the keyboards, Steve Naive.
[G]
And on the drums, Pete Thomas.
[E]
[G#m] [B] [A] Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you [E] after so long, girl.
The way you look, I understand [G#m] that you were not [B] impressed.
[A] I heard you let that [G#m] little friend of [C#m] mine [D] take off your party [Bm] dress.
[A] I'm not gonna [G#m] get too [C#m] sentimental [A] like the others think of [E] Valentine's.
[A] Cause I don't know if [G#m] you were loving [C#m] [D] somebody.
All I know is [B] it isn't mine.
Oh, [A]
[E] Allison.
I [A] know this [B] one, the skill [C#m] that you [A] use.
[E]
[B] [E] It's true.
[A]
So you got [E] a husband.
[A]
With your pretty fingers [G#m] like a [C#m] wedding [A] cake.
You used to hold him [G#m] right in your [C#m] hand.
[D] Pick all that he could [B] take.
This here is Allison.
[E]
Sometimes I wish that I [B] could stop you from hugging.
[A]
[G#m] [C#m] [A]
[G#m] [C#m] [D] Cause I can't stand to see you [Bm] this way.
[B]

[B] [E] [A]
[D] [B] People say [E] I'm the [A] life of the [D] party.
[B] Cause I tell a joke [E] or two.
[F#m]
[D] Made [B] me laugh [E] and laugh and [D] hardly [B] keep inside [E] my [A] knees.
[D] So take a [B] good look at [F#] my face.
You [D] see my [B] smile looks out of place.
[A]
You get a look [B] closer it's [E] easy to trace.
[A]
[D] [E] The tricks of the tease.
[A]
[D] [B] Like [E] Bally [A] Archer did.
[B] I'm gonna keep [Bm] my chad [A] lips here.
It's [B] smiling in public eye.
[A]
Oh, my lonely [D] room [E] I cry.
The [A] tears of the [Bm] clouds.
[E]
[B] The tears of the clouds.
[E]
[B] No smudge [E] as the power.
[D#]
Two lips of [D] the shower.
[B] [E]
[A] [B] [D] But the [E] things I [A] fear.
I [G] [Bm] see things in [E] all that [C#] glimmer.
[D] No more [B]
tears can make [A] up [D] for [C#] me.
