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
