Alanis Morissette - Losing the Plot Chords

[intro]
Bm9  G  D
Bm9  G  D  A

[verse 1]
D       Em    Bm
 Welcome back, insomnia
D       G         Bm      A
 Ushered back into silence only
     D            Em       Bm
when everyone else  is sleeping
D              Em     Bm
 And 'cause the city is sleeping
D      G           Bm
 No one ruthless is rushing
   A         D                G    Bm   A
to get to the front of the line, as usual

[chorus]
 Bm9        G          D
'Cause I am losing the plot
Bm9     G           D          A
I am grieving the end of superwomaning
Bm9     G           D
I have laid down my cape
      G               A
As though I haven't risen
       Bm             D
like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
      G               A
As though I have not been reborn
   Bm                D       Bm9  G    D
to notice that my mission is not dead yet

[fill]
Bm9  G  D  A

[verse 2]
D   Em         Bm
 I'm exhausted, Midas
D   Em       Bm          A         D
 Reigniting a hunger that typically fuels those of us
      Em            Bm
Still searching for something outside ourselves
 D          Em         Bm
 'Cause this city bears violence
D       Em      Bm         A          D
 And everybody is rushing to sob at the podium
    Em                 Bm
And thank for ones who loved and exploited well

[chorus]
 Bm9        G          D
 'Cause I am losing the plot
Bm9     G           D          A
 I am grieving the end of superwomaning
Bm9     G           D
 I have laid down my cape
      G               A
As though I haven't risen
       Bm             D
like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
      G               A
As though I have not been reborn
   Bm                D       Bm9  G   F#7
to notice that my mission is not dead yet

[bridge]
    Bm           Em         C#m F#
The light at the end of the tunnel
    Bm          Em    A      F#m        Bm  Em  C#m
The one I have always prayed for is a train
     F#                 Bm  Em  F#
At a hundred miles per hour

And it promises to
  Bm
break my bones if I don't stand still
Bm9     G          D                 Bm9  G  D
Rip my heart out, ambition mill or bust
                      Bm9 G  D  A
With my relevance in dust

[chorus]
 Bm9        G          D
 'Cause I am losing the plot
Bm9     G           D          A
 I am grieving the end of superwomaning
Bm9     G           D
 I have laid down my cape
      G               A
As though I haven't risen
       Bm             D
like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
      G               A
As though I have not been reborn
   Bm                D
to notice that my mission is not dead
      G                    A
As though this fame and pressure
        Bm            D
has not been a vice around my head
      G                A
As though my heart has not kept
       Bm         D            Bm9 G  D
all my cynicism under the mattress

[outro]
                      Bm9  G  D
And I can't keep it up
                            Bm  G  D
Though the fire is not out yet
Bm   G          D
 I am losing the plot
