  Em             D
I died so many years ago,
    Em              A      G           D
But you can make me feel like it isnʼt 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 canʼt tell the ones you love, you know they couldnʼt deal.
      Em                 D             A             G     A7
But whispering in a dead manʼs ear doesnʼt make it real.
     E                            D
Thatʼs 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 Iʼm only dead to you Iʼm 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
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole thatʼs 6 feet deep!
       D            A                E
I can lay my body down but I canʼt find my sweet release.
     D     A        E
So let me rest in peace!

You know youʼve got a willing slave,
And you just love to play the part that you might misbehave.
Until you do Iʼm telling you stop visiting my grave,
And let me rest in peace!

   D            Dm        C#      G#        C       C#
I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed.
             C#      G#     C        C#                   G#               C    C#
Thereʼs a traitor here beneath my breast and it hurts me more than youʼve ever guessed.
       C#          G#             C        C#    C#m               G#
If my heart could beat it would break my chest, but I can see your unimpressed.
        E
So leave me be and...

Chorus.
