Verse 1
D C
you'll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did
D C
I'll be happy right? when your healing powers kick in
D C
you'll complete me right? then my life can finally begin
D C
I'll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am
D G C D
but this won't work now the way it once did
D G C D
and I won't keep it up even though I would love to
D G C D
once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am
D G C D
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim
Chorus 1
C G
these precious illusions in my head
D C
did not let me down when I was defenseless
G
and parting with them is like
F D
parting with invisible best friends
Verse 2
D C
this ring will help me yet as will you knight in shining armor
D C
this pill will help me yet as will these boys gone though like water
D G C D
but this won't work as well as the way it once did
D G C D
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
D G C D
and though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
D G C D
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim
Chorus 2
C G
these precious illusions in my head
D C
did not let me down when I was a kid
G
and parting with them is like
F D
parting with childhood best friends
Interlude
C Bb F D
I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
C Bb F A
I've spent so much time living in survival mode
Verse 3
D G C D
but this won't work as well as the way it once did
D G C D
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
D G C D
and though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
D G C D
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim
Chorus 3
C G
these precious illusions in my head
D C
did not let me down when I was defenseless
G
and parting with them is like
F D
parting with invisible best friends
C G
these precious illusions in my head
D C
did not let me down when I was a kid
G
and parting with them is like
F D
parting with childhood best friends

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ALANIS MORISSETTE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
