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

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

Oh, the ghost of you that keeps me awake
