Song: That Particular Time Artist: Alanis Morissette Album: Under Rug Swept Track #: Seven Chords revised for the novice, no bars, no capo. Not perfect, but easy to play and close enough that no one should notice. [Verse 1]
        G
My foundation was rocked

  Cmaj7            D                     Am
My tried and true way to deal was to vanish

     G
My departures were old

  Cmaj7         Am                 D
I stood in the room shaking in my boots
[Chorus]
   Cmaj7             D             G                Am
At that particular time love had challenged me to stay

   Cmaj7            D             G                Am
At that particular moment I knew not to run away again

   Cmaj7          D             G            Am      Cmaj7
That particular month I was ready to investigate with you

Cmaj7                 G
At that particular time
[Verse 2]
               G
We thought a break would be good

  Cmaj7             D            Am
For four months we sat and vacillated

     G
We thought a small time apart

  Cmaj7            Am                   D
Would clear up the doubts that were abounding
[Chorus]
   Cmaj7            D             G             Am
At that particular time love encouraged me to wait

   Cmaj7               D          G             Am
At that particular moment it helped me to be patient

   Cmaj7          D             G             Am         Cmaj7
That particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant

Cmaj7                 G
At that particular time
[Bridge]
            Bm7
I've always wanted for you

              Cmaj7
What you've wanted for yourself

          Bm7                     Cmaj7
And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell

      Bm7                   Cmaj7
And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt

       Am                 Cmaj7
In the meantime I lost myself

       Am                 Cmaj7
In the meantime I lost myself

    Am              Cmaj7    G
I'm sorry I lost myself...I am
[Verse 3]
               G
You knew you needed more time

  Cmaj7        D            Am
Time spent alone with no distraction

     G
You felt you needed to fly

  Cmaj7   Am                      D
Solo and high to define what you wanted
[Chorus]
   Cmaj7            D             G             Am
At that particular time love encouraged me to leave

   Cmaj7            D             G                        Am
At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant desserting me

   Cmaj7            D          G             Am
That particular month was harder than you'd believe

      Cmaj7
But I still left

                      G
At that particular time
