Standard (EADGBE)

 I died So many years ago

 But you can make me feel

Like it isn't so

 And why you come to be with me

 I think I finally know

Mmmm, mmm

 You're scared, Ashamed of what you feel

 And you can't tell the ones you love

 You know they couldn't deal

 Whisper in a dead man's ear,

 It doesn't make it real

 That's great - -

 But I don't want to play

 'Cuz being with you touches me

 More than I can say

 But since I'm only dead to you

D E --

I'm saying stay away

 And let me rest in peace

 Let me rest in peace

 Let me get some sleep

 Let me take my love and bury it

 In a hole six foot deep

 I can lay my body down But I can't find my sweet release

 So, let me rest in peace

 You know, you've got a willing slave

 And you just love to play the thought that you might misbehave

 But till you do I'm telling you

 Stop visiting my grave

 And let me rest in peace

 I know I should go

 But I follow you like a man possessed

 There's a traitor here beneath my breast

 And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed

 If my heart could beat, it would break my chest

 But I can see you're unimpressed

 So, leave me be

 And let me rest in peace

 Let me get some sleep

 Let me take my love and bury it

 In a hole six foot deep

 I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release

 Let me rest in peace

 Why won't you let me rest in peace
