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' rhythm and some
hammer-ons from time to time.
 
 
[Verse]
 
        G
        I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm poor 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
   C                                  G
        Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine
                      F
        Cause I got one hand in my pocket
          C             Cadd9                   G
        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
   C                                  G
        Is that ev'rything's gonna be quite alright
                    F
        Cause I got one hand in my pocket
        C             Cadd9                   G
        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
   C                                  G
        Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
                    F
        Cause I got one hand in my pocket
        C             Cadd9                   G
        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
   C                                  G
        Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
                    F
        Well I got one hand in my pocket
        C             Cadd9                   G
        And the other one is playin' a piano
 
 
                                  F               C
        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
        C             Cadd9                   G
        And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
