I want you to know - That I'm happy for you  [Verse]

I wish nothing but - The best for you both       F#m

An older version of me, is she perverted like me F#m

Would she go down on you in a theater            B

Does she speak eloquently                        B

    and would she have your baby

I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother


'Cause the love that you gave that we made [Pre-

     wasn't able to make it enough for you   Chorus]

To be open wide, no                        F#m A B B

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         [Chorus] (F# E

Of the mess you left when you went away      A  B

It's not fair to deny me                         x2)

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me      B

You, you, you oughta know


You seem very well    - 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,            ║ You Oughta ║

    how quickly I was replaced        ║    Know    ║

And are you thinking of me when you fuck her ══════╣

                                      ║   Alanis   ║

[Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Solo - Verse]  ║ Morissette ║

                                      ╚════════════╝

'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed, [Pre-

    that was me and I'm not gonna fade       Chorus]

As soon as you close your eyes and you know it

And every time I scratch my nails

    down someone else's back                [Chorus]

I hope you feel it, oh, can you feel it         (x2)
