Alanis Morissette - Ablaze Chords

[intro]
G#  C#  Fm7  D#
G#  C#  Fm7  D#

[verse]
    G#                       C#
The first thing that you'll notice is some
Fm7        D#
separation from each other
G#            C#                 Fm7
Yes, it's a lie; is that we've been
                 D#
believing since time immemorial
G#             C#           Fm7
There was an apple, there was a snake, there
    D#
was division
G#           C#                  Fm7
 There was a split, there was a conflict in
    D#             G#  C#  Fm7  D#
the fabric of life

[verse]
G#          C#            Fm7               D#
One became two and then everyone was out for

themselves
G#             C#                  Fm7
 Everyone was pitted against each other;
         D#
conflict ruled the realm
G#          C#              Fm7
 All our devotions and temperaments are
       D#                   G#
pulled from different wells
             C#            Fm7      D#
They seem to easily forget we are made of
              G#  C#  Fm7  D#
the same cells.

[chorus]
       G# C#          Fm7       D#
To my boy: all that energy so wild
        G#   C#          Fm7      D#
All you hues and your blues in equal measure
     Fm7               D#        C#
Your comings and your goings-away
   Fm7             D#        C#           D#
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes
      G#  C#  Fm7  D#
ablaze

[verse]
    G#                   C#              Fm7
The second thing you'll notice is that often
         D#                   G#
we think that there's not enough
              C#                   Fm7
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and
        D#                G#
you'll wonder why you're here
            C#            Fm7
You may be overcome with darkness and a
D#                   G#
sense of hopelessness
             C#             Fm7
But it won't matter if you keep your core
 D#                      G#  C# Fm7 D#
connected to the one-ness

[chorus]
      G#   C#           Fm7          D#
To my girl: to your innocence and fire
         G#        C#           Fm7
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High
  D#
Water
     Fm7               D#        C#
This nest is never going away
   Fm7             D#        C#           D#
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes
 G#
ablaze

[bridge]
         D#         A#m
And this cord is unbreakable.
     C#                            G#
This pilot light is there in your pocket
         D#               A#m
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable
C#                  D#                     G#   C#
 Even if we all forget, all at the same time,
Fm7         D#            G#    C#  Fm7  D#
 If we forget at the same time.

[verse]
      G#   C#      Fm7
To my boy, my precious
          D#
gentle warrior
         G#
To your sweetness
C#           Fm7           D#
 and your strength in exploring
     Fm7
May this bond stay
    D#        C#
with you through all your days
   Fm7           D#
My mission is to keep
   C#           D#
the light in your eyes ablaze

[verse]
      G#   C#           Fm7          D#
To my girl: all your innocence and fire
         G#        C#           Fm7
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High
  D#
Water
     Fm7           D#        C#
This nest is never going away
   Fm7             D#        C#
My mission is to keep the light in your
D#       G#  C#  Fm7  D#
eyes...
           G#           C#
(To my boy) First thing that
     Fm7                    D#
you'll notice is that everything is temporary
           G#           C#
(To my girl) Next that you might
  Fm7                    D#
now is that we will always be a family
           G#           C#
(To my boy) My mission is
         Fm7                    D#
to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
