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

I can't purge you, mmm
