Let Me Rest In Peace
by aRcHiTech99
[Verse 1]
I Emdied so many yeBmars ago,
But Dyou can make me Afeel liCke it isn't Gso.
Why Bmyou come to be wiCth me I Dthink I Emfinally know.A  
[Verse 2]
You're Escared, ashamed of what you fBmeel,
But yoDu can't tell thAe ones you love, you Cknow they couldn't dGeal.
But whBmispering in a Cdead man's ear Ddoesn't make it rEmeal.A  
[Verse 3]
That's Egreat, but I don't want to Bmplay,
Because Dbeing with you tAouches me, mCore than I can Gsay.
And Bmsince I'm only Cdead to you I'm Dsaying stay aEway,
And lDet me Grest F#in Epeace!
[Chorus]
Let me F#rest in Apeace! Let me Eget some sleep!
Let me F#take my love and Abury it in a Ehole that's 6 feet Ddeep!
I can lF#ay my body Adown but I can't C#mfind my sweet relG6ease.
So leDt me rAest Gin Epeace!
[Verse 4]
You knoEw you've got a willing Bmslave,
And Dyou just love to Aplay the part that Cyou might misbeGhave.
UnBmtil you do I'm Ctelling you stop Dvisiting my Egrave,
And lDet me Grest F#in Epeace!
[Bridge]
I kDnow I should C#go but I foG#llow you like a Cman possC#essed.
There's a G#traitor here beneCath my brC#east and it hurts mG#e more than youC've
ever C#guessed.
If my hG#eart could beat it would bCreak my cC#hest, C#mbut I can see you're G#unimpressed.
So Eleave me be and...
[Chorus]
Let me F#rest in Apeace! Let me Eget some sleep!
Let me F#take my love and Abury it in a Ehole that's 6 feet Ddeep!
I can lF#ay my body Adown but I can't C#mfind my sweet relG6ease.
So leDt me rAest Gin Epeace!
[Outro]
EWhy don't you Dlet me Arest Gin Epeace?

Let Me Rest In Peace

by aRcHiTech99

[Verse 1]

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 A

Why you come to be with me I think I finally know.

[Verse 2]

E Bm

You're 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 A

But whispering in a dead man's ear doesn't make it real.

[Verse 3]

E 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 E

And since I'm only dead to you I'm saying stay away,

D G F# E

And let me rest in peace!

[Chorus]

F# A E

Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!

F# A E D

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

F# A C#m G6

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

D A G E

So let me rest in peace!

[Verse 4]

E 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# E

And let me rest in peace!

[Bridge]

D C# G# C C#

I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed.

G# C C# G# C

There's a traitor here beneath my breast and it hurts me more than you've

ever guessed.

G# C C# C#m G#

If my heart could beat it would break my chest, but I can see you're unimpressed.

So leave me be and...

[Chorus]

F# A E

Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!

F# A E D

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.

So let me rest in peace!

[Outro]
