CAPO on 2nd Fret
Chorus:
CGEmD
I keep going to the river to pray
CGEmD
Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
CGEmD
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
CGEm
But your ghost, the ghost of you
D
It keeps me awake
Verse I:
Em
My friends had you figured out
Em
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
C
You tried hiding another you
Am
But your evil was coming through
Em
These eyes sitting on the wall
Em
They watch every move I make
C
Bright light living in the shade
Am
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
Pre-Chorus:
GAmEm
I had to Go through hell to prove I'm not insane
CC
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
D
And that's when my love was burning
D
Yeah, it's still burning
Chorus:
CGEmD
I keep going to the river to pray
CGEmD
Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
CGEmD
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
CGEm
But your ghost, the ghost of you
D
It keeps me awake
CGEmD
I keep going to the river to pray
CGEmD
Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
CGEmD
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
CGEm
But your ghost, the ghost of you
D
It keeps me awake
Verse II:
Em
Each time that I think you Go
Em
I turn around and you're creeping in
C
And I let you under my skin
Am
'Cause I love living in the sin
Em
Boy you never told me
Em
True love was going to hurt
C
True pain I don't deserve
Am
Truth is that I never learn
Chorus:
CGEmD
I keep going to the river to pray
CGEmD
Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
CGEmD
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
CGEm
But your ghost, the ghost of you
D
It keeps me awake
CGEmD
I keep going to the river to pray
CGEmD
Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
CGEmD
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
CGEm
But your ghost, the ghost of you
D
It keeps me awake
Bridge:
C
Give up the ghost
G
Give up the ghost
Em
Give up the ghost
D
Stop the haunting baby
C
Give up the ghost
G
Give up the ghost
Em
Give up the ghost

No more haunting baby

Verse I:
D
I wear your winter coat
AE
The one you love to wear

So I can feel in close

The moments we can have

You catch me in your eyes

That beauty on my pillow

That haunts me in the night
