Alanis Morissette - Break

intro : F#m – – Bm – – E – – C#m

F#m Bm
indeed i
E C#m F#m Bm
have sucked it up to heights
E C#m F#m Bm
unknown to those outside
E C#m F#m Bm
my body has contained and suppressed
E C#m F#m Bm
and swallowed and abetted , oh i
E C#m F#m Bm
oh i Am a stranger to myself
E C#m F#m Bm
beneath altruism dwells
E C#m F#m Bm
a force uncontended a voice that is tempered
E C#m
too boiled and unhindered

F#m Bm
who Am i kidding?
E C#m F#m Bm
i Am not some mother theresa
E C#m F#m Bm
if i don’t say something soon
E C#m F#m Bm
i will break from the weight of the high load i take
E C#m
nooooo

indeed i need my chance to fail
some room to unravel
i need a chance to blame for two minutes
unbridled , unbrazened
so i need imaginings of maiming
fantasies of outright screaming
i need a chance to thrash for minutes
uncontained , unforgiving

( chorus )

D C#m D
i will move beyond , i’m certain of that
the sooner i go the quicker i’ll be back
i would not threaten or cause you any harm
have to get this out or my light will go out

( chorus )
