Chorus:
D   G   Em           D
I keep going to the river to pray
           G  Em                  D
'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
        G          Em                D
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
            G          Em              D
 But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake

                    Em
My friends had you figured out
Yeah they saw what's inside of you
                    D
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
                    D
Bright light living in the shade
                        Am
You go hard makes the spirit shake

G         Am
I had to go through hell to prove
     Em
I'm not insane
        D
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
                     E
And that's where my love was burning
Yeah it's still burning

Chorus - x2

Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you're creeping in
And I let you under my skin
'Cause I love living innocent
Oh, you never told me
True love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
Truth is that I never learned

Chorus - x2

D                   G
Give up the ghost
                   Em
Give up the ghost
                   D
Give up the ghost
                      D
Stop the haunting baby
                   G
Give up the ghost
                   Em
Give up the ghost
                   D
Give up the ghost
                      D
No more haunting baby
I keep going to the river

Chorus - x2
