Let Me Rest In Peace
(Spike)
E minorEm B minorBm
I died so many years ago,
D MajorD A augmentedA C majorC G+G
But you can make me feel like it isn't so.
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm A7A7
Why you come to be with me I think I finally know.
E MajorE B minorBm
Your scared, ashamed of what you feel,
D MajorD A augmentedA C majorC G+G
But you can't tell the ones you love, you know they couldn't deal.
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm A7A7
But whispering in a dead man's ear doesn't make it real.
E minorEm B minorBm
That's great, but I don?t want to play,
D MajorD A augmentedA C majorC G+G
Because being with you touches me, more than I can say.
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
And since I'm only dead to you I'm saying stay away,
D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m E MajorE
And let me rest in peace!
Chorus:
F# minorF#m A augmentedA E MajorE
Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!
F# minorF#m A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole that's 6 feet deep!
F# minorF#m BB C# minorC#m G+G
I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release.
D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m E MajorE
So let me rest in peace!
E minorEm B minorBm
You know you?ve got a willing slave,
D MajorD A augmentedA C majorC G+G
And you just love to play the part that you might misbehave.
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
Until you do I'm telling you stop visiting my grave,
D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m E MajorE
And let me rest in peace!
B minorBm C#C# G#G# C majorC C#C#
I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed.
C#C# G#G# C majorC C#C# G#G# C majorC C#C#
There's a traitor here beneath my breast and it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
C#C# G#G# C majorC C#C# C# minorC#m G#G#
If my heart could beat it would break my chest, but I can see you're unimpressed.
E MajorE
So leave me be and...

Let me take my love and bury it in a hole that's 6 feet deep!

I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release.
D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m E MajorE
And let me rest in peace!
E MajorE D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m E MajorE
Why won't you let me rest in peace!
