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

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

F#m
My friends had you figured out
(F#m)
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you

You tried hiding another you

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

Second time around, this plays through out
e|--xx--5-5--xx---| up and down strokes with mutes on the bottom half of an A chord
B|--xx--5-5--xx---| Sounds good with a bit of Wah pedal
G|--xx--6-6--xx---|
D|--xx--7-7--xx---|
A|----------------| Alternatively, play the vocals over the top.

VERSE (Chords and tab)
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
