You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette CHORDS [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 perverted 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...
