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.
