Someone Purer

	  		

INTRO: Em  

VERSE: 

Em 
I was gripped with a bit of fear 
            Em 
worried the one thing that I loved 
          G 
back when I was just a kid 
          Am 
might now never be enough 
         C 
that the body I was in 
      C 
might belong to someone else 
        Em 
Someone kinder, Someone surer, Someone innocent, young and beautiful 
        C 
someone purer, that's the one I know 

Em 
C 

Em                                Em 
I was scratching at my skin hopin changes would begin 
         G 
but what laid beneath was blood 
        Am                                  C 
well of course what the hell was I thinking of 
                              C 
won't you take me down to the creek wash away our sins of sleep 

Em 
I feel so tired as though I might 
                             C 
not wake at all on the other side.... that's no way to go 

Em 
C 
Em 


CHORUS:  

G 
Oh my dear one 
bathe me in your glow 

D 
cut out my lonely heart 
and bury it in the snow 

F 
nothing really means nothing 
is the saddest thing I know 

C 
so deliver me from sin 
and give me rock and roll 

G 
D 
F 
C
