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