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
         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


[Bridge]

C                   G
 Give up the ghost
                   Em
 Give up the ghost
                   D
 Give up the ghost
                      C
 Stop the haunting baby
                   G
 Give up the ghost
                   Em
 Give up the ghost
                   D
 Give up the ghost 
                      C
 No more haunting baby

 I keep going to the river


[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
