Precious Things

Tori Amos


Tom: D

Bm G7+ A 
 
         Bm 
So I ran faster, but it caught me here 
G7+              A 
Yes my loyalties turned 
        Bm 
Like my ankle, in the seventh grade 
              G7+                 A 
Running after Billy, running after, the rain 
 
Em    A      Bm 
These precious things 
 D       G 
Let them bleed 
A 
Let them wash away 
Em    A          Bm 
These, I said oh precious things 
 D       G            A         Bm   G7+ A 
Let them break, their hold over, me 
 
                        Bm 
He said you're really an ugly girl 
                      G7+ 
But I like the way, you play 
       A 
And I died, I died 
        Bm 
But I thanked him, can you believe that, sick 
             G7+                       A 
Holding up to his picture, dressing up, everyday 
                Bm 
I wanna smash the faces, of those beautiful boys 
        G7+                  A 
Those christian boys, beautiful boys 
          Bm 
I said, christian boys, beautiful boys 
        G7+ 
I said, Christian boys 
           A                                 E7 
So you can make me cum that doesn't make you Jesus 
 
Em    A      Bm 
These precious things 
 D       G 
Let them bleed 
A 
Let them wash away 
Em    A          Bm 
These, I said oh precious things 
 D       G            A         Bm   G7+ A 
Let them break, their hold over, me 
 
Bm  G7+         A 
    I remember, yes 
Bm 
In my peach, party dress  
G7+          A                      Bm 
No one dared, no one cared to tell me 
                       G7+ 
Where the pretty girls are 
      A 
Those demigods 
A                                                                                              
With Their Nine-Inch Nails And Little Fascist Panties Tucked Inside The Heart Of Every Nice 
E7   Bm G7+ A 
Girl 
 
 
 
Bm 
 I can't let you let you go, ah yes 
         G7+        A 
Precious, precious, things..
