From: Richard Polanski<ao266@detroit.freenet.org> I hope no one is singing this song about me ;-) You Oughta Know Alanis Morrissette

^BI want you to know that ^AI'm happy for you. ^BI wish nothing but the ^Abest for you both. ^F#Another version of me; ^AIs she preverted like me? ^BWould she go down on you in a ^Atheatre? ^F#Does she speak eloquently? ^AAnd would she have your baby? ^BI'm sure she'd make a really excellent ^Amother.

^B'Cause the love that you gave that we made ^Bwasn't able to make it enough for you to be open ^Awide. No, ^Band everytime you speak her name ^Bdoes she know how you told me you'd hold me ^Buntil you died? `^ATil you died, ^Abut you're still alive.

^F#And I'm here to ^Eremind you ^Aof the mess you left when you ^Bwent away. ^F#It's not fair to ^Edeny me ^Aof the cross I bare that you ^Bgave to me. ^BYou, 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 how quickly I was replaced, and are you thinking of me when you fuck her? Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No, and everytime 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. B-A (2) , F#-A-B-A (2), (signs and moans) ____ Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me, and I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes, and you know it. And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it. Can you feel it?

I, fe^Gmel happy for you.....(or something like that) (not ^Csure how the words go)

Chorus:

And I'm ^Ghere to re-^Fmind you of the ^A#mess you left when you ^Cwent away It's not ^Gfair, to de-^Fny me, of the ^A#cross I bear that you ^Cgave to me

Chords: Atleast how I play them EADBGe Gm 355333 C -35553 G 355433 F 133211 A# -13331 Note: When you are playing the chorus in order to get it to sound right in your head the melody can be played like this:

-^C---------^G--------------^F------------------^A#-----------------------^C---------| ------1---O-------------1-----------------1-------------------------------| --O--------------2---O------42O----O--O--------3--2pO---O----O---2----3-3-| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Well I'm here to re-mind you of the mess you left when you went away *This is NOT the lead tab but rather the melody as it is sung with the chords. If this isn't correct or whatever than I don't want to here from you because I've yet to see anyone else do any better :) Regards, Bob
