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

you told me
G# D#
left such a rancid taste in my mouth
A# Cm Gm
I can't purge you, mmm
G# D#
I can't purge you, mmm

I can't purge you, mmm
