This version is really easy to play! It sounds fine on an acoustic guitar but it may be boring if you don't play it with a 'smart' rythm and some hammer-on from time to time.
[Verse]
G I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm sore but I'm kind I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah I'm high but I'm grounded, I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby
[Chorus]
F And what it all comes down to CG Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine F Cause I got one hand in my pocket CC9G And the other one is givin' a high five
[Verse]
G I feel drunk but I'm sober, I'm young and I'm underpaid I'm dyin' but I'm workin', yeah I care but I'm restless, I'm here but I'm really gone I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby
[Chorus]
F And what it all comes down to CG Is that ev'rything's gonna be quite alright F Cause I got one hand in my pocket CC9G And the other one is flickin' a cigarette
(Instrumental part: play G (There it gets really boring. Ask one of your friends to play the harmonica (Springsteen,Dylan or better, Alanis herself) or jump to the next chorus!)
F And what it all comes down to CG Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet F Cause I got one hand in my pocket CC9G And the other one is givin' a peace sign
[Verse]
G I'm free but I'm focused, I'm green but I'm wise I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby I'm sad but I'm laughin', I'm brave but I'm chickenshit I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby
[Chorus]
F And what it all boils down to CG Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet F Well I got one hand in my pocket CC9G And the other one is playin' a piano
FC And what it all comes down to, my friend, yeah G Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine F Cause I got one hand in my pocket CC9G And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
