Joining You - Alanis Morissette

Verse 1:
   Cm       Ab   Cm        Ab     Cm
Dear dar(lin') your mom my friend left a message on my machine
      Ab         Gsus4    G
She was frantic saying you were talking crazy
   Cm      Ab        Cm
That you wanted to do away with yourself
          Ab         Cm
I guess she thought I'd be a perfect resort
           Ab        Gsus4      G
'cause we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth
  Cm       Ab       Cm
And yes they're in shock, they are panicked
       Ab           Abmaj7
You and your chronic them and their drama
      Fm           Gsus4       G
You, this embarrassment, us in the middle of this delusion

Chorus:
  Em     C     Em     C
If we were our bodies, if we were our futures
  G       D           A
if we were our defenses I'd be joining you
  Em     C      Em     C
If we were our culture, if we were our leaders
  G       D          A
if we were our denials I'd be joining you

Verse 2:
Cm     Ab    Cm           Ab
I remember vividly a day years ago, we were camping
            Cm
you knew more than you thought you should know
     Ab         Gsus4     G
You said "I don't want ever to be brainwashed"
  Cm      Ab          Cm
and you were mindboggling, you were intense
      Ab           Abmaj7
You were uncomfortable in your own skin
       Fm      Gsus4      G
You were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful

Chorus:
  Em     C      Em      C
If we were our nametags, if we were our rejections
  G      D            A
if we were our outcomes, I'd be joining you
  Em      C       Em       C
If we were our indignities, if we were our successes
  G       D           A
if we were our emotions, I'd be joining you

Verse 3:
Cm   Ab      Cm
You and I we're like four year olds
        Ab           Cm
We want to know why and how come about everything
       Ab        Gsus4       G
We want to reveal ourselves at will and speak out minds
  Cm     Ab       Cm
And never talk small and be intuitive
       Ab        Cm        Ab
And question mightily and find god, my tortured beacon
      Gsus4        G
We need to find like minded companions

Chorus:
  Em      C         Em      C
If we were their condemnations, if we were their projections
  G      D          A
if we were paranoias I'd be joining you
  Em     C      Em      C
If we were our incomes, if we were our obsessions
  G       D            A
if we were our afflictions I'd be joining you

Outro:
Cm    Ab      Cm         Ab
We need reflection, we need a really good memory
       Cm
feel free to call me a little more often
