[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
Em
My friends had you figured out
Yeah they saw what's inside of you
C
Trying to hide in another you
Am
But your evil was coming through
Em
These guys sitting on the wall
They watch every move I make
C
Bright light living in the shade
Am
You go hard makes the spirit shake
[Pre-chorus]
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
[Chorus]
C G Em D C
I keep going to the river to pray

But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
[Verse]
Em
Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you're creeping in
C
And I let you under my skin
Am
'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
Am
Truth is that I never learn
[Chorus]
