Alanis Morissette - Nemesis Chords

[introduction]
Bm

[verse 1]
   Bm                G
So I opened the front door,
                    D     A  Bm
you walked in all handsome
      A           G
And ready for something you saw in my eyes
      Bm                    G
Right here, we sat and we tripped out
                 D   A Bm
Saw celestial mosaics,
        A
and I fell
        Em
and I crawled over and held your hand

[pre-chorus 1]
    G      A        Bm
And nobody worried about

the roof being blown off
   G          A             D          F#
So I went farther than I'd ever gone before

[chorus]
Bm                     D
Change, you are my nemesis
              A               G
Transition, I hold my breath
                 Em           A           Bm
This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
                   D
I'm filled with despair,
        A              G
anticipation and dread

This metamorphosis closed
     F#m              Bm
the door and opened a window

[verse 2]
Bm                   G
And so I climbed the stairs and bled,
               D       A  Bm
and here was a starseed
       A
Right here he came to us in
                  Bm
the bed in our bedroom
                     G
And you trusted me enough to follow me anywhere
       D              A  Bm
Or the other way around,
    A            Em
the other way around as well

[pre-chorus 2]
    G             A            Bm
And I blocked my nose and dove in the deep end
    G             A            D
And swam like my life depended on it,
       F#
and it did

[chorus]
Bm                     D
Change, you are my nemesis
              A               G
Transition, I hold my breath
                 Em
This about-face, I'm excited,
A           Bm
I'm excited yet
                   D
I'm filled with despair,
        A              G
anticipation and dread
             Em
This metamorphosis closed
    F#m               Bm
the door and opened a window

[hook]
Em  D
Oh, no
F#  G  Em A#m F#
Oh, no

[verse 3]
      Bm                  G
Right here, in this very backyard,
            D   A  Bm
we promised forever
    A          G                             Bm
And we put our helmets on and threw the confetti
                     G
And then there's the phone call
           D          A
Telling me to breathe in through
  Bm          A        Em
my nose and out my mouth

[bridge]
                 G            A       Bm
And out came our girl, faster than we thought
    G        A        D     F#m
And now I am beyond recognition
                 Bm
I guess that's a good thing,
                  D
and still, I want to go deeper

[chorus]
Bm                     D
Change, you are my nemesis
              A               G
Transition, I hold my breath
                 Em           A           Bm
This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
                   D
I'm filled with despair,
        A              G
anticipation and dread

This metamorphosis closed
     F#m              G      E  D  F#  Bm
the door and opened a window

[outro]
Bm
