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

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