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
[Strophe]
                    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-Refrain]
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

[Strophe]
                   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
