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

I can't purge you, mmm
