[Chorus]
A E C#m B A
I keep going to the river to pray
E C#m B A
'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
E C#m B A
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
E C#m B \
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
[Verse]
C#m
My friends had you figured out
Yeah they saw what's inside of you
A
Trying to hide in another you
F#m
But your evil was coming through
C#m
These guys sitting on the wall
They watch every move I make
A
Bright light living in the shade
F#m
You go hard makes the spirit shake
[Pre-chorus]
E F#m
I had to go through hell to prove
C#m
I'm not insane
A
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
B
And that's where my love was burning
Yeah it's still burning
[Chorus]
A E C#m B A
I keep going to the river to pray
E C#m B A
'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
E C#m B A

But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
[Verse]
C#m
Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you're creeping in
A
And I let you under my skin
F#m
'Cause I love living in a sin
C#m
Boy you never told me
True love was going to hurt
A
True pain that I don't deserve
F#m
Truth is that I never learn
[Chorus]

I keep going to the river to pray
