«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

btw, high «e» string is pretty sparsely used in strumming.
Enjoy!
