You Oughta Know Alanis Morissette

[Gm] I want you to know that I'm happy for you.

I wish nothing but the [C] best for you both.

An older v[Gm]ersion of me;

Is she preverted like me?

Would she go d[C]own on you in a theatre?

Does she speak el[Gm]oquently?

And would she have your baby?

I'm sure sh[C]e'd make a really excellent mother.

[Gm] 'Cause the love that you gave that we made

wasn't able to make it enough for you to be [C] open wide. No!

And [Gm] everytime you speak her name

does she know how you told me you'd hold me

un[C]til you died? `Til you died,

but you're still alive.

Chorus:

[C] And I'm [G] here to re[F]mind you

of the [Bb] mess you left when you [C] went away.

It's not [G] fair to de[F]ny me

of the [Bb] cross I bare that you [C] gave to me.

You, you, you oughta [G] know.

[Gm] You seem very well, things look peaceful.

I'm not quite as well. I th[C]ought you should know.

Did you f[Gm]orget about me, Mr. Duplicity?

I hate to b[C]ug you in the middle of dinner.

It was a sl[Gm]ap in the face how quickly I was replaced.

Are you th[C]inking of me when you fuck her?

[Gm] 'Cause the love that you gave that we made

wasn't able to make it enough for you to be [C] open wide. No!

And [Gm] everytime you speak her name

does she know how you told me you'd hold me

un[C]til you died? `Til you died,

but you're still alive.

Chorus

Interlude:

(You need to listen to the album to get this part right vocally.

It1s moaning and sighing with an 3Ahhh2 sound

It should be repeated about 4 times, gaining speed each time):

G F C Gmodal

[Gm] Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me,

and I'm not gonna fade

as soon as you cl[C]ose your eyes, and you know it.

And [Gm] everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back

I hope you f[C]eel it. Can you feel it?

Chorus

Why...
