"You Oughta Know"
from the album, "Jagged Little Pill"
performed by Alanis Morissette
music by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard
lyrics by Alanis Morissette

The chords for this song were posted by holywood@acy1.digex.net
(Robert Smith) and what I have done is to add the correct lyrics,
Alanis1s little interlude, and place all of it in the right place in
chord pro format.-Mathew.L.Needleman@worldnet.att.net

[Gm]  I want you to know that I'm happy for you.
I wish nothing but the [C] best for you both.
An older v[Gm]ersion of me;
Is she preverted like me?
Would she go d[C]own on you in a theatre?
Does she speak el[Gm]oquently?
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure sh[C]e'd make a really excellent mother.

[Gm] 'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be [C] open wide. No!
And [Gm] everytime you speak her name
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
un[C]til you died? `Til you died,
but you're still alive.

Chorus:
[C] And I'm [G] here to re[F]mind you
of the [Bb] mess you left when you [C] went away.
It's not [G] fair to de[F]ny me
of the [Bb] cross I bare that you [C] gave to me.
You, you, you oughta [G] know.

[Gm] You seem very well, things look peaceful.
I'm not quite as well. I th[C]ought you should know.
Did you f[Gm]orget about me, Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to b[C]ug you in the middle of dinner.
It was a sl[Gm]ap in the face how quickly I was replaced.
Are you th[C]inking of me when you fuck her?

[Gm] 'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be [C] open wide. No!
And [Gm] everytime you speak her name
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
un[C]til you died? `Til you died,
but you're still alive.

Chorus

Interlude:
(You need to listen to the album to get this part right vocally.
It1s moaning and sighing with an 3Ahhh2 sound
It should be repeated about 4 times, gaining speed each time):
G F C Gmodal

[Gm] Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me,
and I'm not gonna fade
as soon as you cl[C]ose your eyes, and you know it.
And [Gm] everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you f[C]eel it. Can you feel it?

Chorus

Why...
