Artist: Alanis Morissette
[VERSE I]
[D]Why no one will he[A]lp me
I'm [G]too dumb I'm [A]too smart
[D]They'll not underst[A]and me
I am[G] lonely they'll[A] hate me
And [D]there is not enough [A]time
It's[G] too hard to [A]help me
[D]god wants me to [A]work
No resting[G] no la[A]zy
[CHORUS I]
[D]These excuses how they [Gmi]served me so [D]well
They've kept me [Gmi]safe
They've kept me [D]stuck
They've kept me [Gmi]locked in my own [D]cell
[VERSE II]
I'm too far from home
It takes far too much energy
And I cannot afford to
No one will ever see me
[CHORUS I]
[CHORUS II]
[D]These excuses how they're [Gmi]so famil[D]iar
They've kept me [Gmi]blocked
They've kept me [D]small
They've kept me [Gmi]safe inside my [D]shell
[BRIDGE]
[C]Bringing this into [G]the light
Shakes their[D] foundation
And it[A] clears my side
[C]Now my imagina[G]tion
Is the on[D]ly thing that limits
The [A]bar that is raised to the hei[G]ghts
[VERSE III]
No one can have it all see
I have to they want me to
And I can't let them down
I'll never be happy
[CHORUS I]
