Let Me Rest In Peace

(Spike)
  Em             Bm
I died so many years ago,
    D              A      C           G
But you can make me feel like it isn't so.
Bm              C       D                  Em             A7
Why you come to be with me I think I finally know.
     E                            Bm
Your scared, ashamed of what you feel,
      D              A                    C         G
But you can't tell the ones you love, you know they couldn't deal.
      Bm                 C             D             Em      A7
But whispering in a dead man's ear doesn't make it real.
     Em                            Bm
That's great, but I don't want to play,
     D                         A   C              G
Because being with you touches me, more than I can say.
     Bm             C              D               Em
And since I'm only dead to you I'm saying stay away,
      D    G    F#m  E
And let me rest in   peace!

Chorus:
F#m                A              E
Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!
    F#m                 A            E                   D
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole that's 6 feet deep!
F#m                 B               C#m          G
I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release.
      D    G    F#m  E
So let me rest in peace!

Em                             Bm
You know you've got a willing slave,
D                    A                    C           G
And you just love to play the part that you might misbehave.
Bm               C                D            E
Until you do I'm telling you stop visiting my grave,
      D    G    F#m  E
And let me rest in peace!

   Bm           C#         G#            C          C#
I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed.
 C#         G#           C        C#            G#                C        C#
There's a traitor here beneath my breast and it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
C#    G#                        C          C#             C#m        G#
If my heart could beat it would break my chest, but I can see you're unimpressed.
    E
So leave me be and...

Chorus:
F#m                A              E
Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!
    F#m                 A            E                   D
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole that's 6 feet deep!
F#m                 B               C#m          G
I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release.
      D    G    F#m  E
And let me rest in   peace!

E              D    G    F#m  E
Why won't you let me rest in peace!
