Ghost Chords

I have included the intricacies of the different parts that the current chord charts do not show - and also how to play extra parts such as the lead vocal for the chorus. It is also tabbed so that it can be played without a capo (as the other charts state 'capo on fret 2'.Was this info helpful?

[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.

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

A Bm F#m
I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane

Had to meet the devil just to know his name

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)

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
