Alanis Morissette - Pedestal Chords

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

[chorus]
F           C
 And one day you'll see
            Am                G
that you've never really seen me
F       C
 One day you'll find out
     G
that everything you dreamed of

Wasn't who stood before you
F       C          Am
 One day I won't be craved
                     Em
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
 I'm sure you enjoyed my name,
    G               F
who wouldn't take advantage?
Am             C
 I'm sure you enjoyed this game,
         G                   D
and the proxy pride that you landed
Am               C                 G         F
 And everything vicarious seemed to build you up
                Am   C
You grabbed my crown
         G               D
and got everything you wanted

[chorus]
F           C
 And one day you'll see
            Am                G
that you've never really loved me
F       C
 One day you'll find out
     G
that everything you dreamed of

Wasn't who stood before you
F       C          Am
 One day I won't be craved
                     Em
the way you crave me now
        F                 C     Dsus4
As this pedestal crumbles down
    D
And crashes me to the ground

[bridge]
Bb
You're left with a human being
Am   A
You're left with a fallible soul
Bb
Oh, when the glitter falls
    F                                     Bb
I'm here and sometimes average, sometimes more
                              A
When the glare of the lights grow dim
                                Bb
And you're left with a delicate real

When the bright lights clear,
        F       C       Dsus4  D
there's just me sitting here

[chorus]
F       C
 One day you'll see
            Am                G
that you've never really seen me
F           C
 And one day you'll find out
     G
that everything you dreamed of,

Wasn't who stood before you
F       C          Am
 One day I won't be craved
                     Em
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        Am
Who wouldn't?
