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