  F#m             E
I died so many years ago,
    F#m              B      A           E
But you can make me feel like it isnʼt so.
    F#m               E       A       F#m             B7
Why you come to be with me I think I finally know.
     F#7                            E
Your scared, ashamed of what you feel,
      F#m              B                    A                   E
But you canʼt tell the ones you love, you know they couldnʼt deal.
      F#m                 E             B             A     B7
But whispering in a dead manʼs ear doesnʼt make it real.
     F#7                            E
Thatʼs great, but I don?t want to play,
        F#m               B           A             E
Because being with you touches me, more than I can say.
       E             B              F#m
And since Iʼm only dead to you Iʼm saying stay away,
      E       B       F#7
And let me rest in peace!

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

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

Chorus.
