EmBm
I died so many years ago.
DA
You can make me feel
CG
like it isn't so.
BmC
And why you come to be with me,
DEmA7
I think I finally know..Hmmmhmmmm.
EEmBm
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel.
DA
And you can't tell the ones you love,
CG
You know they couldn't deal.
BmC
Whisper in a dead man's ear,
DEmA7
It doesn't make it real.
EmBm
That's great but I don't wanna play,
DA
'Cause being with you touches me,
CG
More than I can say.
BmC
And since I'm only dead to you,
DEm
I'm sayin' stay away.
DGF#mE
And let me rest in peace.
F#5A5
Let me rest in peace,
E
let me get some sleep.
F#5A5ED
Let me take my love and bury it In a hole six-foot deep.
F#mBC#mG
I can lay my body down But I can't find my sweet release.
DG5F#mE
So let me rest in peace.
EmBm
You know you got a willing slave
DA
And you just love to play the thought
CG
That you might misbehave.
BmC
Until you do, I'm tellin' you,
DEm
Stop visiting my grave
DG5F#mE
And let me rest in peace.
BmC#
I know I should go
G#CC#
But I follow you like a man possessed.
G#CC#
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
G#CC#
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
G#CC#
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest.
C#mG#E
But I can see you're unimpressed, So leave me be and
F#A
Let me rest in peace,
E
let me get some sleep.
F#AED
Let me take my love and bury it In a hole six-foot deep.
F#mBC#mG
I can lay my body down But I can't find my sweet release.
DGF#mE
So let me rest in peace.
DGF#mE
Why won't you let me rest in peace?
