Intro: D Bm G D A
verse 1
Bm F#m
I close my eyes and hope to forget
G D A
But I still feel your hands 'round my neck
Bm F#m
You went away, but all of your chains
G D A
And ropes holding me stayed in place
Pre-Chorus
Em Bm
And I will never be
G D A
Be washed and clean again
Em Bm
I will never know
D A
Know the innocence
[Refrão] Bm
I can't purge
F#m
you from me
G D A
You're more than a poison I can force out
Bm
Every word
F#m
you told me
G D
left such a rancid taste in my mouth
A Bm F#m
I can't purge you, mmm
G D
I can't purge you, mmm

I can't purge you, mmm
G D
I can't purge you, mmm
verse 2
Bm F#m
A hollow promise, and a hollow bed
G D A
Your voice an alarm in my head
Bm F#m
How could you be gone for six months
G D A
And still take the air from my lungs?
Pre-Chorus
Em Bm
And I will never be
G D A
Be washed and clean again
Em Bm
I will never know
D A
Know the innocence
[Refrão] Bm
I can't purge

you from me

You're more than a poison I can force out

you told me
