Alanis Morissette – Ablaze (Guitar)

    G                       C
The first thing that you'll notice is some

Em7        D
separation from each other

G            C                 Em7
Yes, it's a lie; is that we've been

                 D
believing since time immemorial

G             C           Em7
There was an apple, there was a snake, there

D
was division

G           C                  Em7
There was a split, there was a conflict in

    D             G  C  Em7  D
the fabric of life

G          C            Em7               D
One became two and then everyone was out for

G             C                  Em7
Everyone was pitted against each other;

         D
conflict ruled the realm

G          C              Em7
All our devotions and temperaments are

       D                   G
pulled from different wells

             C            Em7      D
They seem to easily forget we are made of

              G  C  Em7  D
the same cells.

       G C          Em7       D
To my boy: all that energy so wild

        G   C          Em7      D
All you hues and your blues in equal measure

     Em7               D        C
Your comings and your goings-away

   Em7             D        C           D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes

      G  C  Em7  D
ablaze

    G                   C              Em7
The second thing you'll notice is that often

         D                   G
we think that there's not enough

              C                   Em7
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and

        D                G
you'll wonder why you're here

            C            Em7
You may be overcome with darkness and a

D                   G
sense of hopelessness

             C             Em7
But it won't matter if you keep your core

 D                      G  C Em7 D
connected to the one-ness

      G   C           Em7          D
To my girl: to your innocence and fire

         G        C           Em7
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High

D
Water

     Em7               D        C
This nest is never going away

   Em7             D        C           D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes

 G
ablaze

         D         Am
And this cord is unbreakable.

     C                            G
This pilot light is there in your pocket

         D               Am
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable

C                  D                     G   C
Even if we all forget, all at the same time,

Em7         D            G    C Em7 D
If we forget at the same time.

      G   C           Em7          D
To my boy, my precious, gentle warrior

         G        C           Em7           D
To your sweetness and your strength in exploring

     Em7               D        C
May this bond stay with you through all your days

Em7             D        C           D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

      G   C           Em7          D
To my girl: all your innocence and fire

         G        C           Em7
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High

D
Water

     Em7           D        C
This nest is never going away

Em7             D        C
My mission is to keep the light in your

D       G  C Em7 D
eyes...

           G           C           Em7                    D
(To my boy) First thing that you'll notice is that everything is temporary

           G           C           Em7                    D
(To my girl) Next that you might now is that we will always be a family

           G           C           Em7                    D
(To my boy) My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
