Intro
E C#m A E B
[Verse 1]
C#m G#m
I close my eyes and hope to forget
A E B
But I still feel your hands 'round my neck
C#m G#m
You went away, but all of your chains
A E B
And ropes holding me stayed in place
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m
And I will never be
A E B
Be washed and clean again
F#m C#m
I will never know
E B
Know the innocence
[Chorus]
C#m
I can't purge
G#m
you from me
A E B
You're more than a poison I can force out
C#m
Every word
G#m
you told me
A E
left such a rancid taste in my mouth
B C#m G#m
I can't purge you, mmm
A E
I can't purge you, mmm
C#m G#m
I can't purge you, mmm
A E
I can't purge you, mmm
[Verse 2]
C#m G#m
B hollow promise, and a hollow bed
A E B
Your voice an alarm in my head
C#m G#m
How could you be gone for six months
A E B
And still take the air from my lungs?
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m
And I will never be
A E B
Be washed and clean again
F#m C#m
I will never know
E B
Know the innocence
[Chorus]
C#m
I can't purge
G#m
you from me
A E B
You're more than a poison I can force out
C#m
Every word
G#m
you told me
A E
left such a rancid taste in my mouth
B C#m G#m
I can't purge you, mmm
A E
I can't purge you, mmm
C#m G#m
I can't purge you, mmm
