You Oughta Know

- Alanis Morissette

[Verse 1]

F#m B I want you to know that I'm happy for you. F#m B I wish nothing but the best for you both. F#m Another version of me, is she perverted like me? B Would she go down on you in a theatre? F#m Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby? B I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother.

[Pre-Chorus 1]

       F#m

'Cause the love that you gave that we made A B B wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No, F#m and every time you speak her name A does she know how you told me you'd hold me B until you died? 'Til you died, but you're still alive.

[Chorus]

    F#           E

And I'm here to remind you A B of the mess you left when you went away. F# E It's not fair to deny me A B of the cross I bear that you gave to me. B You, you, you oughta know.

[Verse 2]

F#m You seem very well. B Things look peaceful. F#m I'm not quite as well. B I thought you should know. F#m Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity? B I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner. F#m It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced, B and are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

       F#m

'Cause the love that you gave that we made A B B wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No, F#m and every time you speak her name A does she know how you told me you'd hold me B until you died? 'Til you died, but you're still alive.

[Chorus]

    F#           E

And I'm here to remind you A B of the mess you left when you went away. F# E It's not fair to deny me A B of the cross I bear that you gave to me. B You, you, you oughta know.

[Pre-chorus 3]

       F#m

'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me, B and I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes, and you know it. F#m And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back B I hope you feel it. Can you feel it?

[Chorus]

     F#           E

Well I'm here to remind you A B of the mess you left when you went away. F# E It's not fair to deny me A B of the cross I bear that you gave to me. B You, you, you oughta know.
