Alanis Morissette – Permission (Guitar)

Dm                 F
I've been an ace girl

                 Dm                 F
Offering much, grumbling low

            Dm                          F
And I gave all,     all that was asked of me

                       Dm                   F
When order was slow and vision was unrelenting

Dm                              Bb
I       never stopped long enough

          F                      C
To swim against the tides of old

       Dm                            Bb
And I     was single-minded too much

       F                    C
To look toward this new true north

F                             C
    Permission to be

                  Dm
Permission to slow

             Bb                        F
And do the only things that matter to me

             C
The freedom to flow

                  Dm
To where genuine flows

             Bb
And do the only things that matter to me

        Dm           F
And sure, I've had my fun

            Dm
Played with my roles

            F
With time for a break hard-won

       Dm               F
But then after a while

               Dm
So much done by rote

                 F
No longer by inspiration

Dm                     Bb
I've   never stopped long enough

      F                         C
To see whose was this blind ambition

       Dm                  F
And I      was not sanctioned to stop

            Bb                       C
And realize whose was this old mission

F                             C
    Permission to be

                  Dm
Permission to slow

             Bb                        F
And do the only things that matter to me

             C
The freedom to flow

                  Dm
To where genuine flows

             Bb
And do the only things that matter to me

                   C            Dm              Bb
With this space by the dropping of weights

             C
This license to obey

         Dm                 C
With this time really wait

F                             C
    Permission to be

                  Dm
Permission to slow

             Bb                        F
And do the only things that matter to me

             C
The freedom to flow

                  Dm
To where genuine flows

             Bb                              F
And do the only things that matter to me

C       Bb      Dm                         F
             The simple things that matter to me

C       Bb      Dm                         F
             The simple things that matter to me?
