Em D
I died so many years ago,
Em A G D
But you can make me feel like it isn't so.
Em D G Em A7
Why you come to be with me I think I finally know.
E D
Your scared, ashamed of what you feel,
Em A G D
But you can't tell the ones you love, you know they couldn't deal.
Em D A G A7
But whispering in a dead man's ear doesn?t make it real.
E D
That?s great, but I don?t want to play,
Em A G D
Because being with you touches me, more than I can say.
D A Em
And since I'm only dead to you I'm saying stay away,
D A E
And let me rest in peace!
Chorus
D A E
Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!
D A E A7
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole that's 6 feet deep!
D A E
I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release.
D A E
So let me rest in peace!
Em D
You know you've got a willing slave,
Em A G D
And you just love to play the part that you might misbehave.
Em D G Em
Until you do I'm telling you stop visiting my grave,
D A E
And let me rest in peace!
D Dm Db Ab C Db
I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed.
Db Ab C Db Ab C Db
There's a traitor here beneath my breast and it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
Db Ab C Db Dbm Ab
If my heart could beat it would break my chest, but I can see your unimpressed.
E
So leave me be and...
