(verse 1) 
D                 C9 
I try to let it go, I try to shut it out,

Cleanse it from my soul,

But it stays in place like a permanent stain, Yeah

D        C9 
All I want, Is to turn you down,

To sleep you off,

But your memory creeps in and out of my dreams, and,

Your lips, your velvet skin, 
Am7             C 
Pulled me over and under and in,
