Tom: C
C Am
[Verse 1]
C F Dm G
Everyone’s born as clean as a whistle, as fresh as a daisy, but not a bit crazy
C F Dm G
Staying that way is a hard road for hoeing. As rough as a briar, like walking through fire.
[Chorus 1]
C Em Am F
This world, it’s dark, and this world, it’s scary.
C Em Am F
I’ve taken some hits, so no wonder I’m wary.
Dm G C Am
It’s why I need you. Your pure as the driven snow.
[Verse 2]
C F Dm G
Everyone wants to be like the hero, the cake with the cream, the doer not dreamer.
C F
Doing’s hard work, it takes some to change things.
Am G
Like goats milk to butter, like ice blocks to water.
[Chorus 2]
C Em Am F
This world goes blind, when children are dying.
C Em Am F
I turn into dust, but you never stop trying.
Dm G F
It’s why I love you. Your pure as the driven snow...
[Bridge]
C G C Am. F
Cold and clean, swirling over my skin. You cloak me, you soak right in. Down to my heart...
[Verse 3]
C* F* Dm* G*
Everyone thinks they know all about me. They slap me with labels, they spit out their fables
C* F* Dm G
You came along, you knew it was lying. You saw the ideal me, and yes that’s the real me.
[Chorus 3]
C Em Am F
This world, it’s cruel, with troubles aplenty.
C Em Am F
You asked for a reason, I’ve got three and twenty.
Dm G C
For why I trust you. Your pure as the driven snow.
[Instrumental]
C Am C Am
[Outro]
Dm G* C*
That’s why I trust you. Your pure as the driven snow.
