CAPO on 2nd Fret
Chorus:
C G Em D
I keep going to the river to pray

It keeps me awake

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

These eyes sitting on the wall

They watch every move I make
C
Bright light living in the shade
Am
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
Pre-Chorus:

Yeah, it's still burning

Em
Each time that I think you Go
Em
I turn around and you're creeping in

True pain I don't deserve

Truth is that I never learn
