Tone: [Ebm]
Intro:
[Ebm]
Verse 1:
[Ebm]You made me who [Abm]I am
[Ebm]I read the books, held mama's hand
You [Bb7]told me I wasn't worthy
But God always has a [Ebm]plan
[Ebm]They shaped and transformed me
[Ebm]Into someone they'd liked to see
a [Bb7]quiet modest young lady
That's who I was meant to [Ebm]be
Chorus:
[Ebm]I'm pure, I'm pure, I'm pure as a lamb
I'm [Bb7]heaven's little virgin
[Bb7]Too holy for man
I'm [Abm]glass, I'm fire, I don't know hate
And [Bb7]that's how I'll get to the pearly gates
I'm [Ebm]pure, I'm pure
[Ebm]I'm pure as a lamb
I [Bb7]pray every morning
[Bb7]And as much as I can
a [Abm]whispered blessing is all I can say
To [Bb7]keep the demons like you awa[Ebm]away
Verse 2:
[Ebm]Now that I am beautiful
[Ebm]I wear what you want, you saved my soul
I [Bb7]have two ears for listening
And I'll keep doing what I'm [Ebm]told
[Ebm]And I hope you'll love me too
[Ebm]But I don't seem to be enough for you
I'm [Bb7]killing myself slowly
What else do you want me to [Ebm]do
Chorus:
[Ebm]I'm pure, I'm pure, I'm pure as a lamb
I'm [Bb7]heaven's little virgin
[Bb7]Too holy for man
I'm [Abm]glass, I'm fire, I don't know hate
And [Bb7]that's how I'll get to the pearly gates
I'm [Ebm]pure, I'm pure
[Ebm]I'm pure as a lamb
I [Bb7]pray every morning
[Bb7]And as much as I can
a [Abm]whispered blessing is all I can say
To [Bb7]keep the demons like you awa[Ebm]away
Interlude:
[Abm] [Ebm] [Bb7] [Ebm]
Bridge:
[Abm]You watered your garden
And I [Ebm]grew
[Bb7]But you destroyed me
You grabbed me [Ebm]by the roots
[Abm]You plucked my petals
Just like the [Ebm]devil would do
[Bb7]And if I'm going to hell I hope that you go too
Outro:
I'm [Ebm]pure, I'm pure
[Ebm]I'm pure as a lamb
I'm [Bb7]heaven's little virgin
[Bb7]Too holy for man
I'm [Abm]glass, I'm fire, I don't know hate
And [Bb7]that's how I'll get to the pearly gates
Now [Ebm]I feel dirty
[Ebm]Look what you did
I [Bb7]wasn't an object, I was a kid
And I'm [Abm]scarred, I'm mangled, I am used
And [Bb7]all of this because of [Ebm]you
