Capo on the 2nd fret 



C    G   Em           D          C 
 I keep going to the river to pray 
            G  Em                  D             C 
 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain 
         G          Em                D        C 
 And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away 
            G          Em              D 
 But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake 


                     Em 
 My friends had you figured out 
 Yeah they saw what's inside of you 
                     C 
 Trying to hide in another you 
                    A 
 But your evil was coming through 
                    Em 
 These guys sitting on the wall 
 They watch every ove I make 
                     C 
 Bright light living in the shade 
                         A 
 You go hard makes the spirit shake 

G         Am 
 I had to go through hell to prove 
     Em 
 I'm not insane 
         C 
 Had to meet the devil just to know his name 
                      D 
 And that's where my love was burning 

 Yeah it's still burning 


C    G   Em           D          C 
 I keep going to the river to pray

 And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away

 But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake 


                   Em 
Each time that I think you go 
I turn around and you're creeping in 
                 C 
And I let you under my skin 
                     A 
'Cause I love living in a sin 
               Em 
Boy you never told me 
True love was going to hurt 
                   C 
True pain that I don't deserve 
                 A 
Truth is that I never learn 


C    G   Em           D          C 
 I keep going to the river to pray

 And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away 
            G          Em              D 
 But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
