              HAND IN MY POCKET 
Allanis Morrisette 
 
 
Introd: G  
  
      G                        
I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm poor but I'm kind  
                                               
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah   
     G                          
I'm high but I'm grounded, I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed  
                                                      
I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby   
                           
                       F         C          
And what it all comes down to   
                            G                           
Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine   
                F                                         
Cause I got one hand in my pocket  
         C9            D4           G                    
And the other one is givin' a high five         
  
         G                        
I feel drunk but I'm sober, I'm young and I'm underpaid  
                                                     
I'm dyin' but I'm workin', yeah              
   G                          
I care but I'm restless, I'm here but I'm really gone  
                                        
I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby   
      
                       F        C               
And what it all comes down to  
                              G          
Is that ev'rything's gonna be quite alright   
             F                                   
Cause I got one hand in my pocket  
         C9            D4              G           
And the other one is flickin' a cigarette  
   
(instr.)  
                       F       C       
And what it all comes down to  
                                      G       
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet  
               F                                  
Cause I got one hand in my pocket  
         C9            D4            G              
And the other one is givin' a peace sign  
                                                 
     G                         
I'm free but I'm focused, I'm green but I'm wise  
     G                                                 
I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby  
     G                         
I'm sad but I'm laughin', I'm brave but I'm chickenshit  
     G                                                      
I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby  
                                                       
                       F       C                
And what it all boils down to  
                                           G          
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet  
              F                                                
Well I got one hand in my pocket  
         C9          D4                                 
And the other one is playin' a pianooooooo  
  
                       F                  C               
And what it all comes down to, my friend, yeah  
C9           D4             G                           
Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine  
               F                                
Cause I got one hand in my pocket  
         C9           D4         G                   
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab...
