Tori Amos - Precious Things


Bm Bm G7+ G7+ A A

Bm Bm
So I ran faster, but it caught me here
G7+ G7+ A A
Yes my loyalties turned
Bm Bm
Like my ankle, in the seventh grade
G7+ G7+ A A
Running after Billy, running after, the rain

Em Em A A Bm Bm
These precious things
D D G G
Let them bleed
A A
Let them wash away
Em Em A A Bm Bm
These, I said oh precious things
D D G G A A Bm Bm G7+ G7+ A A
Let them break, their hold over, me

Bm Bm
He said you're really an ugly girl
G7+ G7+
But I like the way, you play
A A
And I died, I died
Bm Bm
But I thanked him, can you believe that, sick
G7+ G7+ A A
Holding up to his picture, dressing up, everyday
Bm Bm
I wanna smash the faces, of those beautiful boys
G7+ G7+ A A
Those christian boys, beautiful boys
Bm Bm
I said, christian boys, beautiful boys
G7+ G7+
I said, Christian boys
A A E7 E7
So you can make me cum that doesn't make you Jesus

Em Em A A Bm Bm
These precious things
D D G G
Let them bleed
A A
Let them wash away
Em Em A A Bm Bm
These, I said oh precious things
D D G G A A Bm Bm G7+ G7+ A A
Let them break, their hold over, me

Bm Bm G7+ G7+ A A
I remember, yes
Bm Bm
In my peach, party dress
G7+ G7+ A A Bm Bm
No one dared, no one cared to tell me
G7+ G7+
Where the pretty girls are
A A
Those demigods
A A
With Their Nine-Inch Nails And Little Fascist Panties Tucked Inside The Heart Of Every Nice
E7 E7 Bm Bm G7+ G7+ A A
Girl



Bm Bm
I can't let you let you go, ah yes
G7+ G7+ A A
Precious, precious, things..

About this song: Precious Things

Precious Things is a song from Tori Amos' debut album "Little Earthquakes" in which the singer-songwriter tells us about painful events that happened to her during her teenage years. The text basically paints the picture of a girl experiencing intense cruelty among a group of adolescents. She wrote the song in her early 20's, looking back on this chapter of her life, trying to find ways to realease her pain. Here we have both the girl's and the young woman's point of views expressed. Tori Amos named it 'Precious Things', ironically, because this song isn't meant to express pleasant memories.
