Alanis Morissette - Empathy

bpm : 98
intro : E – – B – – A – – A

E B A E B A
there are so many parts that i have hidden and denied and lost
there are so many ways that i have cut off my nose to spite my face
there are so many colors that i still try to hide while i paint
and there are so many tunes that i secretly sing as i wait

E B A E B A
you come along and invite these parts out of hiding
this invitation is the one that i’ve stopped fighting . . . .

E B A E B A
thank you for seeing me i feel so less lonely
E B A E B A
thank you for getting me i’m healed by
E B A E B A
your empathy , oh this intimacy

E B A E B A
there were so many times , i thought i’d die not being truly known
there’ve been so many moments : forever lonely in my vocation

E B A E B A
you come along and celebrate each feeling
and there you are all honor and inquiring . . . . . . .

( chorus )

C#m B A
there was a day where the trust that was being asked of me
C#m B A B C#m B A B
required too much you see to accept your generosity
C#m B A B E
and to know myself enough to let you help me
