You Oughta Know
Alanis Morissette 

(acapella)
    I want you to know
    That I'm happy for you
    I wish nothing, but
    The best for you both

                   F#m
    An older version of me - is she perverted like me
                           B2
    Would she go down on you in a theatre
    Does she speak eloquently, and would she have your baby
    I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

                                     F#m
                    Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
                                                                          B2
                    To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
                    And every time you speak her name
                    Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died
                      'Til you died, but you're still alive

                                                    F#            E
                                      And I'm here to remind you
                                                  A2                                  B2
                                      Of the mess you left when you went away
                                      It's not fair to deny me
                                      Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
                                      B2                 (acapella)
                                      You, you, you oughta know

    F#m
    You seem very well
    B2
    Things look peaceful
    I'm not quite as well
    I thought you should know

    Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
    I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
    It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
    Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

                    Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
                    To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
                    And every time you speak her name
                    Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died
                      'Til you died, but you're still alive

                                      And I'm here to remind you
                                      Of the mess you left when you went away
                                      It's not fair to deny me
                                      Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
                                      You, you, you oughta know
                                                   *Interlude*    B2 space (x4)

                    Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
                    And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes
                      and you know it
                    And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
                    I hope you feel it, well can you feel it

                                      And I'm here to remind you
                                      Of the mess you left when you went away
                                      It's not fair to deny me
                                      Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
                                      You, you, you oughta know

                                      Why I'm here to remind you
                                      Of the mess you left when you went away
                                      It's not fair to deny me
                                      Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
                                      You, you, you oughta know...
