Alanis Morissette - I Was Hoping
It is obvious that i tabbed the song using only chords.. 


Em
as we were talking outside it was cold
  C                                  Am
we were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter my wife
Em
is in the next room we've been having troubles you know
        C
please don't tell her or anyone
      Am
but i need to talk to somebody
Em 
you said "wouldn't it be a shame if i knew how great i was
      C                            Am
five minutes before i died i'd be filled with such regret
Em 
before i took my last breath" and i said "you're willing to tell me this now
           C                 Am
and you're not going to die anytime soon" and i said
Em
i haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes
     C                   Am
but you've been wearing leather
Em
and laughed and said we're at the top of the food chain and yes you're still a fine woman and
C   Am 
i cringed


Em 
i was hoping
D                         Am
i was hoping we could heal each other
Em 
i was hoping 
D                        Am
i was hoping we could be raw together


Em 
we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's)
      C                                    Am
said "good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're successful and established sir
Em
and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir
      C   Am 
and your money"
Em
and when i walked by they said "thank you too dear"
          C 
i was all pigtails and cords 
                   Am
and there was a day when i would've said something like
Em                                                  C
"hey dude i could buy and sell this place so kiss it"
                         Am 
i too once though i was owed something


Em 
i was hoping
D                     Am 
i was hoping we could challenge each other 
Em
i was hoping
      D                     Am
i was hoping we could crack each other up 


Em
i too thought that when proved wrong i lost somehow
C                      Am
i too once thought life was cruel
Em 
it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping
C                          
you i think you're insensitive
                 Am 
and i don't feel heard and i said do you believe we are
Em                        C             Am 
fundamentally judgmental? fundamentally evil?
Em 
and you said yes i said i don't believe in revenge
            C                         Am 
in right or wrong good or bad you said "well what about the man that i saw handcuffed
      Em
in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid 
                C 
and she threw a shoe at his head.
               Am 
i think what he did was wrong
Em 
and i would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him"
              C                    Am 
i had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged


Em 
i was hoping
      D                    Am
i was hoping we could dance together
Em 
i was hoping
      D                   Am 
i was hoping we could be creamy together
