"NOT THE DOCTOR" - Alanis Morissette

(E thru-out verse, with occasional hammer-on to Esus4)

I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours

I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey

Hidden in the bottom drawer

I don't want to be the bandage if the wound is not mine

Lend me some fresh air

I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you

I don't want to be your baby sitter

You're a very big boy now

I don't want to be your mother

I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months

Show me the back door

Chorus:

G A E

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6, well I

G A E

Already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh

G A E

Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom, you see it's

F#m Am7 D E

Too much to ask for and I am not the doctor

(E thru-out verse, with occasional hammer-on to Esus4)

I don't want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you up walk upon

I don't want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 make 2

I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge

on your face at midnight

Hey what are you hungry for

I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together

I don't want to be your idol

see this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights

I don't want to be lived through

A vicarious occasion, please

open the window

(Repeat chorus)

(E thru-out verse, with occasional hammer-on to Esus4)

I don't want to live on someday when my motto is next week

I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart

and its wounded beat

I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been inhaling

What do you thank me

What do you thank me for

(Repeat chorus - then end on a slow, upstroked E chord)

Suggested chords:

E G A F#m Am7 D Esus4

G---1-------2---2--------2----2---------------

D---2-------2---4----2--------2---------------

btw, high "e" string is pretty sparsely used in strumming.

Enjoy!
