Em
I died,
Bm
So many years ago,
D A
And you can make me feel,
C G
Like it isn't so.
Bm C
But why you come to be with me –
D Em
I think I finally know.
A7
mhm–mhm
E
You're scared,
E Bm
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
But whisper in a dead man's ear –
D Em A7
It doesn't make it real.
E
That's great.
Bm
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 saying stay away
D5 G5 F#5 E5
And let me rest in peace
F#5 A5
Let me rest in peace.
E5
Let me get some sleep.
F#5 A5
Let me take my love and bury it
E5 D5
In a hole 6-foot deep.
F#5 B5
I can lay my body down,
C#5 Gsus2
But I can't find my, sweet release
D5 G5 F#5 E5
So let me rest in peace
E5
You know,
Bm
You got a willing slave.
D A
And you just love to play the thought,
C G
That you might misbehave.
Bm
But till you do,
C
I'm telling you –
D E5
Stop visiting my grave.
D5 G5 F#5 E5
And let me rest in peace.
Bm C#
I know – I should go.
Ab C Db
But I follow you like a man possessed.
Ab C Db
There's a traitor here beneath my breast.
Ab C Db
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
Ab C Db
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest.
Dbm Ab
but I can see you're unimpressed.
E5
So leave me be
F#5 A5
And let me rest in peace.
E5
Let me get some sleep.
F#5 A5
Let me take my love and bury it –
E5 D5
In a hole 6-foot deep.
F#5 B5
I can lay my body down,
C#5 Gsus2
But I can't find my sweet release.
D5 G5 F#5 E5
Let me rest in peace.
Why won't you –
D5 G5 F#5 E5
Let me rest in peace?
