Alanis Morissette – Hand In My Pocket

Intro: G

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
C G
Is that everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine
F
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
C C9 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 C G F C C9 G)

And what it all comes down to
Is that ev’rything’s gonna be quite alright
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flickin’ a cigarette

Chorus: (F C G F C C9 G)

And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven’t got it all figured out just yet
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is givin’ a peace sign

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

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one’s really got it figured out just yet
Well I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playin’ a piano

And what it all comes down to, my friend, yeah
Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

  1. thanks ah I’m gonna do a cover of this

  2. Hello,

    I am a guitar novice and I have a problem seeing what you do with your right hand in the Hand in my Pocket song. It looks like D-D-DUDUD (Down, Up) but when I try to play that it sound totally different, so I guess I am wrong.

    Will you publish or E-mail me the right hand strokes?

    Thanks,
    Hans
