[Intro]
C#m A E F#m x2
[Verse 1]
C#m A
You never told me true love was gonna hurt
E
True pain I don't deserve
F#m
The truth is that I never learned
C#m A
You never told me true love was gonna hurt
E
True pain I don't deserve
F#m
The truth is that I never learned
[Chorus]
A E C#m B
And I keep going to the river to pray
A E C#m B
'Cause I need something that could wash all this pain
A E C#m B
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
A E
And it's your ghost
C#m B A
The ghost of you that keeps me awake
C#m B A
Oh, the ghost of you that keeps me awake
[Verse 2]
C#m A
These eyes sitting on the wall
E
As they watch every move I make
F#m
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
C#m A
I had to go through hell
E
To prove that I am not insane
F#m
Had to meet the devil
N.C.
Just to know his name
Just to know his name
[Chorus]
A E C#m B
And I keep going to the river to pray
A E C#m B
'Cause I need something that could wash all this pain
A E C#m B
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
A E
And it's your ghost
C#m B A
The ghost of you that keeps me awake
C#m B A
Oh, the ghost of you that keeps me awake
