 Love that's pure hopes all things

Believes all things, won't pull no strings

Won't sneak up into your room, tall, dark and handsome

Capture your soul and hold it for ransom

 You don't want a love that's pure
A          D
 You wanna drown love

 Will not deceive you or lead you into transgression

A                         D
 Is always right on time, is always content
D           A/C#   Bm      A
 An eternal flame, quietly burning
D                 A/C#           Bm                 D/E
Never needs to be proud, loud or restlessly yearning

A                       D
 Love that's pure, is-a-not what you teach me
A              D
 I’ve got to go where you can’t reach me
D         A/C#   Bm                 A
 I got to flee towards patience and meekness
D           A/C#                Bm                    D/E
You miscalculate me, mistake my kindness for weakness
