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

Refrão:

I’ll be your keeper for life

Your first warden

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

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

Refrão:

Now no more smiling mid crestfall

No more managing unmanageables

No more holding still in the hailstorm

d g a b a g g
Now enter your watchwoman
