🎸 Verse 1:
                   G7
They're carvin' my name
              Gm
in the grave again
                C#m
The flowers are fresh
                  F
and their faces wet
            Gm
My body has died
G

but I'm still alive

Look over your shoulder
Gmaj7              Fmaj7
I'm back from the dead
                      G7
Lightin' all your candles
            Gm
to draw me in
               C#m
Sayin' all the same things
F
I'm gone this time
                  Gm
Your words mean nothin',

so take 'em back
    Gm
And meet me here across the plane
    Gmaj7
The other side
I'm not far

Never understand it
Gm
you're always on my mind
Gmaj7
I cannot help it
Fmaj7              G7
I don't wanna be carryin'

the weight on my shoulders
Gm
Death has come to me
G
kissed me on the cheek
                 Fmaj7           G7

Fmaj7               G7
  They're sayin' my name
                  Gm
in their prayers again
              C
I flicker the lights
              Fmaj7
so they understand
                G7
I won't say goodbye
Gm
I'm right by your side
                    C
We're screamin' and pleadin'
Fmaj7
this separation ends
               G7
Doing all your witchcraft
            Gm
to pull me in
                 C
Burnin' all your sage to
            Fmaj7
connect our line
             G7
I show my presence
Gm
you run away in fear of ghosts

I try to talk
C
the barriers are too strong
