Hello, this is my first tab.
A novice version of "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette.
Capo: 2nd Fret
[Verse 1]
Em                        A
I want you to know that I'm happy for you.
Em                        A
I wish nothing but the best for you both.
        Em
Another version of me, is she perverted like me?
             A
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
               Em
Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby?
               A
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
           Em
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
              G                            A              A
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No,
Em
and every time you speak her name
         G
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
   A
until you died? 'Til you died,
but you're still alive.
[Chorus]
        E            D
And I'm here to remind you
           G                      A
of the mess you left when you went away.
         E        D
It's not fair to deny me
         G                   A
of the cross I bear that you gave to me.
A
You, you, you oughta know.
[Verse 2]
Em
You seem very well.
A
Things look peaceful.
Em
I'm not quite as well.
   A
I thought you should know.
           Em
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity?
          A
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner.
         Em
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced,
            A
and are you thinking of me when you fuck her?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
           Em
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
              G                            A              A
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No,
Em
and every time you speak her name
         G
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
   A
until you died? 'Til you died,
but you're still alive.
[Chorus]
        E            D
And I'm here to remind you
           G                      A
of the mess you left when you went away.
         E        D
It's not fair to deny me
         G                   A
of the cross I bear that you gave to me.
A
You, you, you oughta know.
[Pre-chorus 3]
           Em
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me,
                                        A
and I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes, and you know it.
    Em
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
           A
I hope you feel it. Can you feel it?
[Chorus]
         E            D
Well I'm here to remind you
           G                      A
of the mess you left when you went away.
         E        D
It's not fair to deny me
         G                   A
of the cross I bear that you gave to me.
A
You, you, you oughta know.
