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