Alanis Morissette - Citizen Of The Planet Chords

[Intro]
C C7 Fm C
 
 
[Verse]
C                 C7                            Fm
I start up in the north, I grow up from special seed
                   C
I sprinkle it with sensibility
     C                    C7
From French and Hungarian snow
                Fm                          C
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full
     C                 C7              Fm
Then I move across the sea to European bliss
               C
To language of poets
   C                 C7
As I cut the cord of home
                   Fm                      C
I kiss my mother's mother, look to the horizon
 
 
[Bridge]
C              C7
Wide-eyed, new ground
        Fm           C
Humbled by my new surroundings
 
 
[Chorus]
       C
I am a citizen of the planet
        C
My president is Kwan Yin
       C
My frontier is on an airplane
   C
My prisons: homes for rehabilitating

[Verse]
     C                C7                       Fm
Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear
                  C
But everything is different
     C                          C7
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened
           Fm                         C
Patriotism expanded, by callings from beyond
 
 
[Bridge]
   C         C7
So I pack my things
        Fm
Nothing precious
           C
All things sacred
 
 
[Chorus]
       C
I am a citizen of the planet
            C
My laws are all of attraction
         C
My punishments are consequences
     C
Separating from source the original sin
       C
I am a citizen of the planet
  C
Democracy's kids are sovereign
          C
Where the teachers are the sages
        C
And pedestals fill with every parent
 
 
[Verse]
    C                          C7
And so, the next few years are blurry
                    Fm                          C
The next decade's a flurry of smells and tastes unknown
C                                  C7
Threads sewn straight through this fabric
                        Fm                    C
Through fields of every color, one culture to another
 
 
[Bridge]
    C      C7
And I come alive
          Fm
And I get giddy
         C
And I am taken and globally naturalized
 
 
[Chorus]
       C
I am a citizen of the planet
            C
From simple roots through high vision
     C
I am guarded by the angels
        C
And my body guides the direction I go in
       C
I am a citizen of the planet
            C
My favorite pastime: edge-stretching
         C
Besotten with human condition
      C
These ideals are born from my deepest within
