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