Chord The Couch by Alanis Morissette

Verse 1 Am AmMaj7 you hadn't seen your father in such a long time Am AmMaj7 Am he died in the arms of his lover how dare he Fmaj7 your mother never left the house Dm F#m Esus4 E she never married anyone else you took it upon yourself to console her Verse 2 Am AmMaj7 you reminded her so much of your father Am so you were banished and you wonder why you're so hypersensitive AmMaj7 Am and why you can't trust anyone but us Fmaj7 but then how can I begin to forgive her Dm so many years under bridges with dirty water F#m Esus4 E she was foolish and selfish and cowardly if you ask me Verse 3 Am AmMaj7 I don't know where to begin in all of my 50 odd years Am AmMaj7 Am I have been silently suffering and adapting perpetuating and enduring Fmaj7 Dm who are you younger generation to tell me that I have unresolved problems F#m Esus4 E Not many examples of fruits of this type of excruciating labor Verse 4 Am AmMaj7 How can you just throw words around like grieve and heal and mourn Am AmMaj7 Am I feel fine we may not have been born as awake as you were Fmaj7 Dm It was much harder in those days we had paper routes uphill both ways F#m Esus4 E we went from school to a job to a wife to instant parenthood Verse 5 Am AmMaj7 I walked into his office I felt so self-conscious on the couch Am he was sitting down across from me. AmMaj7 Am He was writing down his hypothesis I don't know Fmaj7 Dm I've got a loving supportive wife who doesn't know how involved she should get F#m Esus4 E you say his interjecting was him just calling me on my shit? Verse 6 Am AmMaj7 just the other day my sweet daughter I was driving past 203 Am I walked up the stairs in my mind's eye AmMaj7 Am I remember how they would creak loudly Fmaj7 Dm she was only responsive with a drink he was only responsive by photo F#m Esus4 E I was only trying to be the best big brother I could Verse 7 Am AmMaj7 I've walked sometimes confused sometimes ready to crack open wide Am sometimes indignant sometimes raw AmMaj7 Am Fmaj7 can you imagine I pay him 75 dollars an hour sometimes Dm it feels like highway robbery F#m and sometimes it's peanuts Esus4 E I wish it could last a couple more hours Verse 8 Am AmMaj7 so here we both are battling similar demons not coincidentally Am you seen getting beyond knowing it solely intellectually AmMaj7 Am you're not relinquishing your majesty Fmaj7 Dm you are wise you are warm you are courageous you are big F#m Esus4 E and I love you more now than I ever have in my whole life Outro Am AmMaj7 e|-----------------|-----5-----------------|---4-| B|-4/5--10-10-10-9-|---5---5-8-5---5-------|--5--| G|-----------------|-7-----------7---7-5-5-|-5---| D|-----------------|-----------------------|-----| A|-----------------|-----------------------|-----| E|-----------------|-----------------------|-----| e|-----------------------|-----5--------8-10-| B|------------------8----|-5-8---8-8/10------| G|--4/5-5-7-7/9-9-9----9-|-------------------| D|-----------------------|-------------------| A|-----------------------|-------------------| E|-----------------------|-------------------| fade
