-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Titch

Tuning: EADGBe

This is half tab, half chord sheet - I will try to make the few licks between chords make sense.


INTRO (Vocals) This can be played any time this is sung.

INTRO (chords / arpeggios)

D  A    F#m           E           D
 I keep going to the river to pray
         A    F#m                E                D
'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
       A         F#m                 E         D
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
         A          F#m             E
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake.

VERSE (chords and tab)

                   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



CHORUS (Hit chords with distortion, pick arpeggios cleans like the intro)

D  A    F#m           E           D
 I keep going to the river to pray
         A    F#m                E                D
'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
       A         F#m                 E         D
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
         A          F#m             E
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake.


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.
E|----------------|

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
