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 CmtouchBb  
   EbA tension tugging at my Cmsmile?Bb  
   EbIf there's a right thing to Cmsay
   BbI'm sure I missed it by a AbmileCm  
BbSwallowed in some detail, Abheavy in my Cmblood
I Bbwanna hold you close but I can't Ablift my arms Cm-- up
Verse 2:
   EbIs there a reason for this Cmdistance?Bb  
   EbMore than the drug that floats my CmdaysBb  
   EbA nervous bug in my CmsystemBb  
   BbIt keeps me edgy and asAbhamedCm  
   BbI've got a saint, never Abever will forgiveCm
