Too Pure - Sebadoh
Lou Barlow
Chorded by Alaina Musich
Intro:
Eb x2, Gm, Bb
repeat x4
Playing the bass riff over the Gm-Bb may sound tense on piano, try holding a Cm instead
over the riff.
Any Cm chord can be played as a Csus2, but isn't always necessary. Play around with
adding the 2 and see where
you like it. You can also play open 5ths instead, as the vocal melody carries most of the
chord quality in the
song.
Verse 1:
Eb Cm Bb
Is something missing in my touch
Eb Cm Bb
A tension tugging at my smile?
Eb Cm
If there's a right thing to say
Bb Ab Cm
I'm sure I missed it by a mile
Bb Ab Cm
Swallowed in some detail, heavy in my blood
Bb Ab Cm
I wanna hold you close but I can't lift my arms -- up
Verse 2:
Eb Cm Bb
Is there a reason for this distance?
Eb Cm Bb
More than the drug that floats my days
Eb Cm Bb
A nervous bug in my system
Bb Ab Cm
It keeps me edgy and ashamed
Bb Ab Cm
I've got a saint, never ever will forgive
Bb Ab Cm
That never understood me but still tells me how to live
Bb
It fits when I stretch
Ab Cm Csus2 x7
And I stretch because I can
Cm Gm
I stretch until I'm sore
Bb Cm
And then I open up for more
Cm Gm Bb Cm
I do it out of habit, not addiction
Cm Gm Bb Cm
And if I give it up, -- clean out my blood
Cm Gm Bb Cm
Will I still feel bored and disconnected?
Cm Gm Bb Cm
If I do it all for love, will I ever give enough?
Cm Gm Bb Cm
'Cuz you can never be too pure or too connected
Cm Gm Bb Cm
You can never be too pure or too connected
Cm Gm -------
You can never be too pure
