[Intro]
Em A Em A

Em A Em A Em
 A Em A  G G

[Verse 1]
G                  C
Everyone's born as clean
       G
 as a whistle
G                       D
As fresh as a daisy and not
 a bit crazy
G                     C
Staying that way is a hard
         G
 row for hoeing
G
As rough as a briar,
      D               G     G7
 like walkin' through fire

[Chorus]
     C
This world, it's dark,
         G
this world, it's scary
   C
I've taken some hits
     G             D
so no wonder I'm wary
    Am
It's why I need you
 Am           B7
You're as pure as
            Em A Em A
the driven snow

[Verse 2]
G                 C
Everyone wants to be
        G
like a hero
G
The cake with the cream or
     D
 the doer not dreamer
      G
Well, doing's hard work,
        C
 but it takes some to
  G
change things
  G
Like goat's milk to butter,
       C             G
 like ice blocks to water

[Chorus]
 C
This world goes blind when
   G
 children are dying
 C
I turn into dust,
          G         D
 but you nеver stop trying
   Am
It's why I love you
Am       B7
You're purе as the driven
  Em A Em A Em A Em A
 snow

[Bridge]
Am
Cold and clean
Em
Swirling over my skin
Am
You cloak me
B7
You soak right in down
       Em A Em A
 to my heart

[Verse 3]
G
Everyone thinks they
 C          G
 know all about me
  G
They slap me with labels and
 D
 spit out their fables
G
You came along and you
 C            G
 knew it was lyin'
      Am
You saw the ideal me and,
 B7
yes, that's the real me

[Chorus]
      C
This world, it's cruel
      G
with troubles aplenty
     C
You asked for a reason,
      G
 I've got three and twenty
    Am
For why I trust you
Am       B7               Em A
You're pure as the driven snow

[Outro]
    Am
It's why I trust you
Am      B7                  Em
You're pure as the driven snow
