Am                                        E
Never thought that you'd teach me to walk away
Am                                            E
You said "I love you so much, baby, won't you stay?"
G                                    Am
So it goes, goes, goes, so it always goes
G                                    Am     Am*
So it goes, goes, goes, so it always goes

[Chorus]
Am                 G        Dm                        Am
I went down to the river to wash away the things I've done
Am          G                         Dm                     Am
And all the names I've traced into my skin since you've been gone
Am      G                          Dm               Am
And his hands, they feel just like yours against my arm
Am      G                             Dm                               Am
But his voice, it sounds nothing like yours when you're telling me I'm wrong

Am E x2

[Verse]
Am                        E
I sleep in agony, I sleep alone
Am                             E
Your hangman hands have got me cold
G                                                    Am
Guess you don't know, know, know, guess you'll never know
G                                                Am     A*
Now you don't know, know, know, now you'll never know

[Chorus]
Am        G                     Dm                    Am
So I went back to the devil and told him everything I know
Am      G                          Dm             Am
Let him drink my blood and feed me wine in the TV glow
Am      G                         Dm               Am
And his hands they feel just like yours against my throat
Am      G                            Dm                                   Am
But his voice it sounds nothing like yours when you're begging me to come home

[Verse]
Am*
I went down to the river to wash away the things I've done
