verse 1 
D         F#m      Gmaj7                  F#m 
puuuuuuuuure, this must be, it has to be 
D                     F#m 
pure, let's make this pure 
        Gmaj7 
(do you mean it?) yes i do 
            F#m 
(then let's sing it) certainly, but 
D                                       F#m 
first bare your hearts and cleanse your souls 
                  Gmaj7 
(and then?) let's try and, let's try and, let's try and 
                A

verse 2

we're striving, we're striving, we're striving, striving over here 
      Gmaj7                         F#m 
(ever nearer?) i think so, (visions clearer) of course, of course 
    D                            F#m 
but still we must forsake all to win 
         Gmaj7                       F#m 
(all temptation?) everything (for salvation?) now you're talking 
     D                        F#m 
then let this apply to all we do 
                Gmaj7 
(and then?) our striving will guide us 
                               A 
and somehow i think that we'll win 

E      A 
                D         Bm 
let's make this precious

Interlude 
N.C. 
sing me a record that cries pure and true 
no not those guitars. they're too noisy and crude 
    Em7          G        D/A      Bm 
the kind that convinces refuses to leave 
        Bm/E 
there's no need to turn it up 
if it's pure i'll feel it from here 
thank you but no thanks, this goes out from here 

Instrumental 
E      Abm    F#m    Abm

Outro 
E      A 
                D         Bm
