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