Guardian Alanis Morissette

g g a g c b g e d
You , you who has smiled when you’re in pain
g a g c b g a b g
You who has soldiered through the profane
g a g c b g e d
They were distracted and shut down
g a g g a g c b g e d
So why , why would you talk to me at all
g g a g c b g a b g
Such words were dishonorable and in vain
g g a g c b g e d
Their promise as solid as a fog
d g a b a g g
And where was your watchman then

c c c c f e d
I’ll be your keeper for life
a# a a# a a# a
As your guardian
c c c c f e d
I’ll be your warrior of care
d d e c
Your first warden
c c c c f e d
I’ll be your angel on call
a# a a# a a# a
I’ll be on demand
c c c c f e d
The greatest honor of all
d d d e f f
As your guardian

g g a g c b g e d
You , you in the chaos feigning sane
g a g c b g a b g
You who has pushed beyond what’s humane
g a g c b g e d
Them as the ghostly tumbleweed
d g a b a g g
And where was your watchman then

c c c c f e d
I’ll be your keeper for life

g g a g c b g e d
Now no more smiling mid crestfall
g a g c b g a b g
No more managing unmanageables

No more holding still in the hailstorm
d g a b a g g
Now enter your watchwoman
