Sorry to myself

Alanis Morissette

Tom: G

Em                   D 
For hearing all my doubts so selectively and 
Em                  D   
For continuing my numbing love endlessly 
Em                   D 
For helping you and myself: not even considering 
Em                  D 
For beating myself up and over-functioning 
 

Am                                Em 
To whom do I owe the biggest apology? 
Am                                      Em 
No one's been crueler than I've been to me 
 

For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable 
For my self-love being so embarassingly conditional 
for denying myself to somehow make us compatible 
for trying to fit a rectangle into a hole 
 

To whom do I owe the biggest apology? 
No one's been crueler than I've been to me 
       C               G7 
I'm sorry to myself 
       C                  G7 
My apologies begin here before everybody else 
C               G7 
I'm sorry to myself 
      C                       G7 
For treating me worse than I would anybody else      
VERSE3: 
For blaming myself for your unhappiness 
for my impatience when I was perfect where I was 
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready, 
For expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be 
 

To whom do I owe the first apology? 
No one's been crueler than I've been to me And 
 
Chorus: 
I'm sorry to myself 
My apologies begin here before everybody else 
I'm sorry to myself 
For treating me worse than I would anybody else 
 

Am                                   Em 
Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ? 
C                               D 
Forgetting you or forgetting myself... 
Am                              Em 
Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter 
C                               D 
I would've naturally loved the former 
 

For ignoring you: my highest voices 
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious 
For being so disassociated from my body, 
for not letting go when it would've been the kindest thing. 
 

To whom do I owe the biggest apology? 
No one's been crueler than I've been to me 
 
Chorus: 
I'm sorry to myself 
My apologies begin here before everybody else 
I'm sorry to myself 
For treating me worse than I would anybody else 
I'm sorry to myself 
My apologies begin here before everybody else 
I'm sorry to myself 
For treating me worse than I would anybody else
