Instrumento:
Included inside "Supposed Former...album", "Can't not" is one of the best 
female' rock songs of the last 10 years. It is not a single or anything
special, but I think it would be a great hit if Alanis would have 
launched this song to musical market instead another songs like "Unsent" 
or "That I would be good", really beautiful but maybe too much
personal to be liked by young audiences.


Tom: Em 

(first verse played softly, almost without sound, pianissimo)
Em                                      
I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed
Em
I might be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation
G         A                G7           A        G  A  G7  A
would I be letting you win in my non reaction?
G         A        G7    A
how would I explain?
G                A            G7              A       
how would I explain this to my children if I had them?

        Em      C
Because I can't not.
        Em      C
Because I can't not
        Em      G               D5
Because i can't afford to be misread one more time.

Em
Would I be whining if I said I needed a hug?
Em
Would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough?
G         A        G7    A
how can I complain?
G                A            G7                   
how can I complain when Im the one who reaches for it?

        Em      C
Because I can't not.
        Em      C
Because I can't not
        Em      G             D5
Because i cannot walk without my crutches

        Em      C
Because I can't not.
        Em      C
Because I can't not
        Em      G              D5
Because i can't help wonder why you ask me


(Here come's the strings section and the piano, lyrical and 
 beautiful moment, voice must be extreme soft)

    E               D5             A         E
To all the unheard wisdom in the schoolyard
                       D5        E
you think you're the right ones
                       A          B
you think you're the charmed ones i'm sure
E            D5              C#m         C
how can you go on with such conviction?
                E              C     
and who do you think you are?
          B
why do you question me?

 

       Em       C
Because we can't not
        Em       C
Because we can't not
        Em       G             D5
Because we can't help laugh at understimations

        Em       C
Because we can't not
        Em       C
Because we can't not
        Em       G             D5
Because we can't afford to be misled one more time

        Em       C
Because we can't not
        Em       C
Because we can't not
        Em       G            D5
Because we cannot help without your willingness.


Em          C          Em            D
Why do you affect me? why do you affect me still?
Em          C          Em            D
Why do you hinder me? why do you hinder me still?
Em          C          Em            D
why do you unnerve me? why do you unnerve me still?
Em          C          Em            D
why do you trigger me? why do you trigger me still?
