  Fm             D#
I died so many years ago,
    Fm              A#      G#           D#
But you can make me feel like it isnʼt so.
    Fm               D#       G#       Fm             A#7
Why you come to be with me I think I finally know.
     F7                            D#
Your scared, ashamed of what you feel,
      Fm              A#                    G#                   D#
But you canʼt tell the ones you love, you know they couldnʼt deal.
      Fm                 D#             A#             G#     A#7
But whispering in a dead manʼs ear doesnʼt make it real.
     F7                            D#
Thatʼs great, but I don?t want to play,
        Fm               A#           G#             D#
Because being with you touches me, more than I can say.
       D#             A#              Fm
And since Iʼm only dead to you Iʼm saying stay away,
      D#       A#       F7
And let me rest in peace!

Chorus:
       D#         A#              F7
Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!
       D#                      A#         F7
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole thatʼs 6 feet deep!
       D#            A#                F7
I can lay my body down but I canʼt find my sweet release.
     D#     A#        F7
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#            D#m        D      A        C#       D
I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed.
             D      A     C#        D                   A               C#    D
Thereʼs a traitor here beneath my breast and it hurts me more than youʼve ever guessed.
       D          A             C#        D    Dm               A
If my heart could beat it would break my chest, but I can see your unimpressed.
        F7
So leave me be and...

Chorus.
