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

Chorus:
       C#         G#              D#7
Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!
       C#                      G#         D#7
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole thatʼs 6 feet deep!
       C#            G#                D#7
I can lay my body down but I canʼt find my sweet release.
     C#     G#        D#7
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!

   C#            C#m        C      G        B       C
I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed.
             C      G     B        C                   G               B    C
Thereʼs a traitor here beneath my breast and it hurts me more than youʼve ever guessed.
       C          G             B        C    Cm               G
If my heart could beat it would break my chest, but I can see your unimpressed.
        D#7
So leave me be and...

Chorus.
