This is the chord progression of Purpleworld by Olivia O\’Brien on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, Violin and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
C#m D
You said I wasn\’t just another girl to you, a girl to use
C#m D
I said you don\’t care, you said, \”I swear I do, I swear it\’s true\”
C#m
So how can you just turn around and block me out?
D
Your actions don\’t reflect the words that left your mouth
C#m
I was right to be skeptical
Knew it was wrong from the jump and I let you know
D
But somehow I still couldn\’t let you go
Guess it\’s not in my blood to be sensible
C#m
Maybe it was inevitable
Wish I didn\’t have such a sensitive soul
D
Wish it was somethin\’ that I could control
Said I should just pack up and head on the road
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm7 C#m D E
But you reassured me that it wasn\’t like that
Bm7 C#m D E
Said I meant somethin\’ to you and I liked that
[Chorus 1]
C#m D
C#m D
\’Cause if I knew my worth, I would never speak to you again
C#m D
If I knew my worth, I wouldn\’t even want to be friends, oh, no, no, no
C#m D
\’Cause if I stopped hittin\’ you up, then we\’d just never talk at all, talk at all
C#m D
But I\’d still drop everything to answer my phone if you called me
Bm7
But I know you won\’t
C#m D E
I thought you cared, you don\’t
Bm7 C#m D E
I\’ve never known how it feels to be liked back, oh no
[Verse 2]
C#m D
Maybe that\’s why I keep on runnin\’ right back
C#m
So here I go again, makin\’ up some dumb excuses
D
Don\’t know why I keep forgivin\’ you, I must be fuckin\’ stupid
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm7 C#m
Promise one day you gon\’ realize how much you\’re fuckin\’ losin\’
D E
And I won\’t care
Bm7 C#m
I\’ve been talkin\’ to your brother, he said that you found another girl
D E
Hope she\’s everything I wasn\’t, I\’m just from another world
[Chorus 2]
C#m
So I\’ma stay there
D C#m
\’Cause it\’s safe there
D
In my purple world
[Outro]
C#m
I live in a purple world
D
Lavender highs and violet lows
C#m
I started seeing purple all around me, everywhere I go
D
It once was just a pretty color, and then it reminded me of you
Now it reminds me of something much bigger
C#m
Of the things that I can do
D
A fresh start, a new meaning
A strong vibration, a light beaming
C#m
In everything that I keep seeing
