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?

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?
