D A F#m E D
I keep going to the river to pray

'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain

And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away

But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake.

VERSE
F#m
My friends had you figured out
(F#m)
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
D
You tried hiding another you
B
But your evil was coming through
F#m
These eyes sitting on the wall
(F#m)
They watch every move I make
D
Bright light living in the shade
B
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
PRE-CHORUS
A Bm F#m
I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane
D (D)
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
E
And that's when my love was burning
(E)
Yeah, it's still burning

Second time around, this plays through out

B|--xx--5-5--xx---| Sounds good with a bit of Wah pedal
G|--xx--6-6--xx---|
D|--xx--7-7--xx---|

VERSE
F#m
Each time that I think you go
(F#m)
I turn around and you're creeping in
D
And I let you under my skin
B
'Cause I love living innocent
F#m
Boy you never told me
(F#m)
True love was going to hurt
D
True pain that I don't deserve
B
Truth is that I never learn
