Let Me Rest In Peace

  Em             D
I died so many years ago,
    Em              A      G     
But you can make me feel like it 
      D
isn't so.
    Em               D       G   
Why you come to be with me I 
    Em             A7
think I finally know.
     E                          
Your scared, ashamed of what you 
  D
feel,
      Em              A       
But you can't tell the ones you 
             G                   D
love, you know they couldn't deal.
      Em                 D        
But whispering in a dead man's ear
     A             G     A7
 doesn?t make it real.
     E                            
That?s great, but I don?t want to 
D
play,
        Em               A        
Because being with you touches me,
   G             D
 more than I can say.

       D             A            
And since I'm only dead to you I'm
  Em
 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   
Let me take my love and bury it in
      E                A7
 a hole that's 6 feet deep!
       D            A             
I can lay my body down but I can't
   E
 find my sweet release.
     D     A        E
So let me rest in peace!

    Em                         D
You know you've got a willing slave,
                     Em       A   
And you just love to play the part
      G           D
 that you might misbehave.
    Em              D           
Until you do I'm telling you stop 
   G         Em
visiting my grave,
     D     A        E
And let me rest in peace!
   D            Dm        Db      
I know I should go but I follow 
Ab        C       Db
you like a man possessed.
             Db      Ab     C    
There's a traitor here beneath my
    Db                   Ab       
 breast and it hurts me more than 
        C    Db
you've ever guessed.
       Db          Ab         
If my heart could beat it would 
    C        Db    Dbm           
break my chest, but I can see 
    Ab
your unimpressed.
        E
So leave me be and...
