Verse 1 with main riff
you were full and fully capable
you were self sufficient and needless
your house was fully decorated in that sense
(guitar came in)
you were taken with me to a point
a case of careful what you wish for
but what you knew was enough to begin
and so you called and courted fiercely
so you reached out entirely fearless
and yet you knew of reservations and how it serves
Chorus 1
G A
and I salute you for your courage
G A
and I applaud your perseverance
G A
and I embrace you for your faith
G A
in the face of adversarial forces that I represent

Verse 2
so you were in but not entirely
you were up for this but not totally
you knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt
and so you fell and you're intact
so you dove in and you're still breathing
so you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked
Chorus 2
G A
and I support you in your trusting
G A
and I commend you for your wisdom
G A
and I'm amazed by your surrender
G A
in the face of threatening forces that I represent

Verse 3
you found creative ways to distance
you hid away from much through humor
your choice of armor was your intellect
and so you felt and you're still here
and so you died and you're still standing
and so you softened and still safety in command
Chorus 3
G A
and I salute you for your courage
G A
and I applaud your perseverance
G A
and I embrace you for your faith

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.
