Pedestal chords by Alanis Morissette

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Am        C          G     F
I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
Am       C          G        D
I'm sure every perk has perked you up, how could it not?
Am       C         G         F
And every opportunity through me helped you climb, didn't it?
      Am       C       G     Dsus4  D
Dropping my name blew doors open that were closed before

Chorus:
F      C           Am        G
And one day you'll see that you've never really seen me
F    C          G
One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of
Wasn't who stood before you
F    C     Am             Em
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
    F         C   Dsus4
As this pedestal crumbles down
  D          Am   C  G  F
And crashes me to the ground

Verse 2:
Am      C          G        F
I'm sure you enjoyed my name, who wouldn't take advantage?
Am       C             G          D
I'm sure you enjoyed this game, and the proxy pride that you landed
Am        C         G     F
And everything vicarious seemed to build you up
Am       C       G        D
You grabbed my crown and got everything you wanted

Chorus:
F      C           Am        G
And one day you'll see that you've never really loved me
F    C          G
One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of
Wasn't who stood before you
F    C     Am             Em
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
    F         C   Dsus4
As this pedestal crumbles down
  D         Bb
And crashes me to the ground

Bridge: - chords in brackets are brief passing chords and can be skipped if necessary
Bb
You're left with a human being
(Am)  A
You're left with a fallible soul
Bb
Oh, when the glitter falls
  F
I'm here and sometimes average, sometimes more
Bb              (Am) A
When the glare of the lights grow dim
                Bb
And you're left with a delicate real
                   F    C    Dsus4 D
When the bright lights clear, there's just me sitting here

Chorus:
F    C           Am        G
One day you'll see that you've never really seen me
F      C          G
And one day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of,
Wasn't who stood before you
F    C     Am             Em
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
    F         C  Dsus4
As this pedestal crumbles down
    D        F  C D
As this pedestal crashes down
D         Am    C G F
Crashes me to the ground

Outro:
Am      C         G
I hope you enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
  F
Who wouldn't?

End on Am
