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