Found at: permission chords by alanis morissette                Intro: Dm   F   C   G

Dm                 F
I've been an ace girl
                 Dm                 F
Offering much, grumbling low
            Dm                          F
And I gave all,     all that was asked of me
                       Dm                   F
When order was slow and vision was unrelenting

Dm                              Bb
I       never stopped long enough
          F                      C
To swim against the tides of old
       Dm                            Bb
And I     was single-minded too much
       F                    C
To look toward this new true north
So now

F                             C
Permission to be
                  Dm
Permission to slow
             Bb                        F
And do the only things that matter to me
             C
The freedom to flow
                  Dm
To where genuine flows
             Bb
And do the only things that matter to me

        Dm           F
And sure, I've had my fun
            Dm
Played with my roles
            F
With time for a break hard-won
       Dm               F
But then after a while
               Dm
So much done by rote
                 F
No longer by inspiration

Dm                     Bb
I've   never stopped long enough

      F                         C
To see whose was this blind ambition
       Dm                  F
And I      was not sanctioned to stop
            Bb                       C
And realize whose was this old mission
So now

F                             C
Permission to be
                  Dm
Permission to slow
             Bb                        F
And do the only things that matter to me
             C
The freedom to flow
                  Dm
To where genuine flows
             Bb
And do the only things that matter to me

                   C            Dm              Bb
With this space by the dropping of weights
             C
This license to obey
         Dm                 C
With this time really wait
So now

F                             C
Permission to be
                  Dm
Permission to slow
             Bb                        F
And do the only things that matter to me
             C
The freedom to flow
                  Dm
To where genuine flows
             Bb                              F
And do the only things that matter to me

C       Bb      Dm                         F
             The simple things that matter to me
C       Bb      Dm                         F
             The simple things that matter to me?
