You oughta know    (intro) (midi)    (sample)

 

   Em  D    Em                            D  Em

1. I   want you to know that I'm happy for you,

        D    Em                           D         Em

    I wish nothing but the best for you both.

 

    Another version of me, is she perverted like me?

                             D                         Em

    Would she go down on you in a theatre?

 

    Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby?

                              D

    I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother.

 

                      Em

    'Cause the love that you gave that we made

                                                                           A

    wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No !

            Em

    And everytime you speak her name

                                                                                    A

    does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died?

 

   `Til you died ! But you're still alive !

 

               E             D

And I'm here to remind you,

             G                                   A

of the mess you left when you went away.

             E            D

It's not fair to deny me,

             G                              A

of the cross I bear that you gave to me.

                       - - - - - - - - - -

You, you, you oughta know.

 

    Em    D     Em                      D     Em

2. You seem very well, things look peaceful.

           D   Em                                D                Em

    I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know.

 

    Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity?

                    D                                   Em

    I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner.

 

    It was a slap in the face, how quickly I was replaced,

                           D

    and are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

 

                      Em

    'Cause the love that you gave that we made

                                                                           A

    wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No !

           Em

    And everytime you speak her name

                                                                                    A

    does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died?

 

   `Til you died ! But you're still alive !    + CHORUS

 

    En - A          Em - A       Em - A -Em    Em - A - Em

 

                      Em

    'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me, and I'm not

                                                  A

    gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes, and you know it.

            Em

    And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back,

                        A

    I hope you feel it. Oh, can you feel it?  + CHORUS  + CHORUS
