Alanis Morissette - Precious Illusions

Have fun with this song! :)


VERSE 1:

E5 D5
you'll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did
E5 D5
I'll be happy right? when your healing pow-ers kick in


E5 D5
you'll complete me right? then my life can fi-nal-ly__ begin.__
E5 D5
I'll be worthy right? only when you re-al-ize the gem I am.


PRE-CHORUS:

E A D E
but this won't work_ now the way__ it once did.__
A D E
and I won't keep it up__ e-ven though___ I would love___ to.
A D E
once I know who I'm not,__ then I'll know__ who I am.__
A D E
but I know I won't keep_ on play-ing___ the victim.


CHORUS:

E D A
these precious il-lu-sions in___ my head___
E D
did not let me down___ when I was de-fense-less
A
and parting with them___ is like
G
part-ing with in-visible___ best friends___


Verse 2
E5 D5
this ring will help me yet as will you knight in shining armor
E5 D5
this pill will help me yet as will these boys gone though like water


D G C D
but this won't work as well as the way it once did
D G C D
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
D G C D
and though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
D G C D
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim


CHORUS

E D A
these precious il-lu-sions in___ my head___
E D
did not let me down___ when I was de-fense-less
A
and parting with them___ is like
G
part-ing with child-hood___ best friend___

I've spent so much time living in survival mode
