Pedestal chords by Alanis Morissette

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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

Chorus:
F           C                      Am                G
And one day you'll see that you've never really seen me
F       C                    G
One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of
Wasn't who stood before you
F       C          Am                          Em
One day I won't be craved 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                    G               F
I'm sure you enjoyed my name, who wouldn't take advantage?
Am             C                         G                   D
I'm sure you enjoyed this game, and the proxy pride that you landed
Am               C                 G         F
And everything vicarious seemed to build you up
Am              C             G               D
You grabbed my crown and got everything you wanted

Chorus:
F           C                      Am                G
And one day you'll see that you've never really loved me
F       C                    G
One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of
Wasn't who stood before you
F       C          Am                          Em
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
        F                 C     Dsus4
As this pedestal crumbles down
    D                  Bb
And crashes me to the ground

Bridge: - chords in brackets are brief passing chords and can be skipped if necessary
Bb
You're left with a human being
(Am)   A
You're left with a fallible soul
Bb
Oh, when the glitter falls
    F
I'm here and sometimes average, sometimes more
Bb                           (Am)  A
When the glare of the lights grow dim
                                Bb
And you're left with a delicate real
                                      F       C       Dsus4  D
When the bright lights clear, there's just me sitting here

Chorus:
F       C                      Am                G
One day you'll see that you've never really seen me
F           C                    G
And one day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of,
Wasn't who stood before you
F       C          Am                          Em
One day I won't be craved 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
Who wouldn't?

End on Am
