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:

^EbIs something missing in my ^Cmtouch ^Bb ^Eb A tension tugging at my ^Cmsmile? ^Bb

^Eb If there's a right thing to ^Cmsay ^Bb I'm sure I missed it by a ^Abmile ^Cm

^BbSwallowed in some detail, ^Abheavy in my ^Cmblood I ^Bbwanna hold you close but I can't ^Ablift my arms ^Cm-- up

Verse 2:

^Eb Is there a reason for this ^Cmdistance? ^Bb ^Eb More than the drug that floats my ^Cmdays ^Bb

^Eb A nervous bug in my ^Cmsystem ^Bb ^Bb It keeps me edgy and as^Abhamed ^Cm

^Bb I've got a saint, never ^Abever will forgive^Cm That ^Bbnever understood me but still ^Abtells me how to li^Cmve

It ^Bbfits when I stretch Ab Cm Csus2 x7 And I stretch because I can

I ^Cmstretch until I'm ^Gmsore And then I ^Bbopen up for ^Cmmore

^CmI do it out of ^Gmhabit, not add^Bbiction ^Cm And ^Cmif I give it ^Gmup, ^Bb-- clean out my ^Cmblood

^CmWill I still feel ^Gmbored and discon^Bbnected? ^Cm ^CmIf I do it all for ^Gmlove, will I ^Bbever give ^Cmenough?

'Cuz you can ^Cmnever be too ^Gmpure or too co^Bbnnected ^Cm You can ^Cmnever be too ^Gmpure or too con^Bbnected ^Cm
