Alanis Morissette - The couch

^Amyou hadn't seen your father in ^Asus2such a long time. ^Amhe died in the arms of his lover. ^Asus2how dare he ? your ^Fmother never left the house. ^Dmshe never married anyone else you ^F#mtook it upon your^Eself to console her

^Amyou reminded her so much of your ^Asus2father so you were banished and you ^Amwonder why you're so hypersensitive and ^Asus2why you can't trust anyone but us but then ^Fhow can i begin to forgive her ^Dmso many years under bridges with dirty water she was ^F#mfoolish and selfish and ^Ecowardly if you ask me

^Ami don't know where to begin in all of my ^Asus250 odd years i have been silently ^Amsuffering and adapting per^Asus2petuating and enduring who ^Fare you younger generation to tell me ^Dmthat i have unresolved problems not many ^F#mexamples of fruits of this type of ex^Ecruciating labor.

^Amhow can you just throw words around like ^Asus2grieve and heal and mourn i feel ^Amfine we may not have been born as ^Asus2awake as you were. it was ^Fmuch harder in those days we had ^Dmpaper routes uphill both ways we went from ^F#mschool to a job to a wife to ^Einstant parenthood

^Ami walked into his office. i felt ^Asus2so self-conscious on the couch. he was ^Amsitting down across from me. he was ^Asus2writing down his hypothesis. i don't know. i've got a ^Floving supportive wife, who doesn't ^Dmknow how involved she should get. you say his ^F#minterjecting was him just ^Ecalling me on my shit ?

^Amjust the other day my sweet daughter. i was ^Asus2driving past 203. i walked ^Amup the stairs in my mind's eye. i remember ^Asus2how they would creak loudly she was ^Fonly responsive with a drink. he was^Dm only responsive by photo. i was ^F#monly trying to be the best ^Ebig brother i could

^Ami've walked sometimes confused. sometimes ready to^Asus2 crack open wide. sometimes in^Amdignant sometimes raw. can you i^Asus2magine i pay him 75 ^Fdollars an hour sometimes it feels like ^Dmhighway robbery and sometimes it's ^F#mpeanuts i wish it could last a c^Eouple more hours

^Amso here we both are battling similar ^Asus2demons not coincidentally. you seen getting^Am beyond knowing it solely intellectually you're not ^Asus2relinquishing your majesty you are ^Fwise you are warm you are cou^Dmrageous you are big and i ^F#mlove you more now than i e^Ever have in my whole life
