Alanis Morissette - Havoc

intro : D – – G – – – D – – – G

D G D G
just when i thought i had handled solace
D G D G
i could soften my guard behind false confidence
D G D G
just when i felt humbled by insipid
D G D G
except from this blind – side and from reading a script

D G D G
cause i Am seduced by reaction and under the influence

D G D G D
i’m slipping again i’m up to my tricks off my wagon
G A G
i have no defense i’m reaking havoc
A G D
wreaking havoc in consequence

D G D G
i get reduced by my own willfulness as
D G D G
i reach for my usual god replacements
D G D G
cause i wish for sanction it lacks in my steps

[ chorus ]

Bm – – G – – Bm – – G

Bm G Bm
forgiveness is understanding that
G A G
affirming a compact for the millionth time
A G D
on this tumbling house of cards of mine

i Am beaten by my impulsiveness
by this uncanny foreshadowing of regret
cause i’m repulsed by restriction at least that’s my excuse

[ chorus 2x ]
