Alanis Morissette - Pollyanna Flower

bpm : 105

G F# G
between a broken nose and a fake smile
between piety and gunpowder
between fighting and fleeing the scene
between murder and diplomacy

G F# G
between aggression and oblivion
between brutal and realistically well behaved
between screaming and pulling in the reins
Esus4 E
between tiptoeing and ambleing

Bm F# Bm F#
what Am i to do with all this fire
( i’d like to hit you but i’d never hit you )
Bm F# Bm F#
would you stay with me in this red space
( i’d like to slap you but i’d never slap you )

chorus
E
between violence and silently seething
E
between my fist and my pollyanna flower
E
between “fxxk you” to your face and it’s alright
E
between war and denial

[ chorus ]

between flying vases and secretly weeping
between loose cannons and ever downplaying
between bruises and rudely differing
between bursting and boiling

what Am i to do with all this burning
( i’d like to hurt you but i’d never hurt you )
do i overwhelm you in this place
( i’d like to kill you but i’d never kill you )

[ chorus ]

what Am i to do with all this fire
can you understand me in this place?
