Chorus
[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
Verse
[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-Chorus
[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
Chorus
[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
[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
Verse
[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
Chorus
[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
[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

Bridge
[C] [G]

Give up the ghost
[C]
No more haunting baby
I keep going to the river
