"Rest in Peace" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Musical Episode: Once More, With Feeling

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

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

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

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

Chorus
