YOU OUGHTA KNOW

Alanis Morissette/Glen Ballard

Intro, not played in studio but in live versions

F#m B
/ + + + + / + + + +      / + + + + / + + + + :| x 2

F#m B
I - want you to know - that I'm ha-ppy for you.
F#m B
I - wish nothing but - the best - for - you both.
F#m
Another version of me is she perverted like me?
B
Would she go down on you in - a theater?
F#m
Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby?
B
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother.

F#m
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
F#m7 B
wasn't able to     make it enough for you to be     open wide. No,
F#m
and everytime you speak her name
F#m7
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
B
until you died? `Til you died,
but you're still alive.

F# E
And I'm here to remind     you
A B
of the mess     you left when you went     away.
F# E
It's not fair to deny me
A B
of the cross I bare that you gave to me.
B
You, you, you oughta know.

You seem very well. Things look peaceful.
I'm not quite as well. I thought you should know.
Did you forget about me Mr. Du-plicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner.
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced,
and are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No,
and everytime you speak her name
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
until you died? `Til you died, but you're still alive.

And I'm here to remind you
of the mess you left when you went away.
It's not fair to deny me
of the cross I bare that you gave to me.
You, you, you oughta know.

Pre-Chorus

Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me,
and I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes, - and you know it.
And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it. - Can you feel it?

Chorus 2 x

Well, I'm here to remind you
of the mess you left when you went away.
It's not fair to deny me
of the cross I bare that you gave to me.
You, you, you oughta know.
