Em Bm
I died so many years ago.
D A
You can make me feel
C G
like it isn’t so.
Bm C
And why you come to be with me,
D Em A7
I think I finally know..Hmmmhmmmm.
E (Em) Bm
You’re scared, ashamed of what you feel.
D A
And you can’t tell the ones you love,
C G
You know they couldn’t deal.
Bm C
Whisper in a dead man’s ear,
D Em A7
It doesn’t make it real.
Em Bm
That’s great but I don’t wanna play,
D A
‘Cause being with you touches me,
C G
More than I can say.
Bm C
And since I’m only dead to you,
D Em
I’m sayin’ stay away.
D G F#m E
And let me rest in peace.
F#5 A5
Let me rest in peace,
E(5)
let me get some sleep.
F#5 A5 E D
Let me take my love and bury it In a hole six-foot deep.
F#m B C#m G
I can lay my body down But I can’t find my sweet release.
D G5 F#m E
So let me rest in peace.
Em Bm
You know you got a willing slave
D A
And you just love to play the thought
C G
That you might misbehave.
Bm C
Until you do, I’m tellin’ you,
D Em
Stop visiting my grave
D G5 F#m E
And let me rest in peace.
Bm C#
I know I should go
G# C C#
But I follow you like a man possessed.
G# C C#
There’s a traitor here beneath my breast
G# C C#
And it hurts me more than you’ve ever guessed.
G# C C#
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest.
C#m G# E
But I can see you’re unimpressed, So leave me be and
F# A
Let me rest in peace,
E
let me get some sleep.
F# A E D
Let me take my love and bury it In a hole six-foot deep.
F#m B C#m G
I can lay my body down But I can’t find my sweet release.
D G F#m E
So let me rest in peace.
D G F#m E
Why won’t you let me rest in peace?
