Rest In Peace
Joss Whedon
Tempo : 200 bpm
Key : E (ish )
SPIKE:
[Verse1]
4/4 |E |E |Bm |Bm
I died so many years ago.
|D
You can make me
|A |C |G
feel like it isn't so.
| Bm |C
And why you come to be with me,
|D |Em |Em |A |A
I think I finally know.
[Verse2]
|E |E |Bm |Bm
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel.
|D |A
And you can't tell the ones you love,
|C |G
You know they couldn't deal.
|Bm |C
Whisper in a dead man's ear,
|D |Em |Em |A |A
It doesn't make it real.
[Verse3]
|E |E |Bm |Bm
That's great but I don't wanna play,
|D |A
'Cause being with you touches me,
|C |G
More than I can say.
|Bm |C
And since I'm only dead to you,
|D |E |E
I'm sayin' stay away.
|D G| F# E |E |E
And let me rest in peace.
[Chorus]
|F# A| A
Let me rest in peace,
|E |E
let me get some sleep.
|F# |A
Let me take my love and bury it
|E |D
In a hole six-foot deep.
|F# |A
I can lay my body down
|C#m |G6 |G6
But I can't find my sweet release.
|D G| F# E |E |E
So let me rest in peace.
[Verse4]
|E |E |Bm |Bm
You know you got a willing slave
|D |A
And you just love to play the thought
|C |G
That you might misbehave.
|Bm |C
Until you do, I'm tellin' you,
|D |Em |Em
Stop visiting my grave
|D G| F# E |E |E
And let me rest in peace.
[Bridge]
|B |D |C# |C#
I know I should go
|Db/Ab Ab| Ab C|C Db| Db
But I follow you like a man possessed.
|Db/Ab Ab| Ab C|C Db| Db
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
|Db/Ab Ab| Ab C|C Db| Db
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
|Db/Ab Ab| Ab C| C Db| Db
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest.
|Db Dbm| Dbm
But I can see
|Ab |Ab
you're unimpressed
|E |E
So leave me be and
[Chorus]
|F# A| A
let me rest in peace,
|E |E
Let me get some sleep.
|F# |A
Let me take my love and bury it
|E |D
In a hole six-foot deep.
|F# |A
I can lay my body down
|C#m |G |G
But I can't find my sweet release.
|D G| F# E |E
Let me rest in peace.
|E |D G| F# E |E |E ||
Why won't you let me rest in peace?
<So... you're not staying, then?>

There are no Db or Dbm chords in my chord book, only C sharp which
unlike the other sets isn't marked as the same as Db and as you have C
sharp chords above as well I'm presuming they're different in some
way.

Db and C# are the same chord ("enharmonic" if you want to be fussy
about it). Some purists who don't like the well-tempered scale and
want to judge everything by the harmonic series insist that there are
minute differences, but for all practical purposes there's no
difference.
Notationally, it's just a matter of convenience. I assume Jeff wrote
C# after the chords in sharp keys (B, D), and Db with the Ab's, and Ab
to avoid writing G#.

No, you can use C#m and Dbm (or C# and Db) interchangeably. Generally
speaking, the difference in notation is just to indicate which key or
scale the chord belongs to during a particular passage.

the usage was a judgement call, relating to the key of the passage
I was originally thinking of the key as Ab major (4 flats)
which I perferred over G# major (6 sharps & 1 double sharp)[I think not]
On second look, the key here is Db Major
