[Verse 1]
                   E7
They're carvin' my name
              Am
in the grave again
                G#m
The flowers are fresh
                  F
and their faces wet
            Em
My body has died,
               C
but I'm still alive
 
Look over your shoulder,
Cmaj7              Fmaj7
I'm back from the dead
                      E7
Lightin' all your candles
            Am
to draw me in
               G#m
Sayin' all the same things,
              F
I'm gone this time
                  Em
Your words mean nothin',
 
so take 'em back
    Am
And meet me here across the plane
    Cmaj7
The other side, I'm not far
 
 

[Pre-Chorus]
 
Fmaj7            E7
When you aren't around,
                 Am
I sink into the ground
         E           Em
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
F Fmaj7          Em7
Never understand it,
                    Am
you're always on my mind,
          Cmaj7
I cannot help it
Fmaj7              E7
I don't wanna be carryin'
 
the weight on my shoulders
Am
Death has come to me,
          E
kissed me on the cheek
                 Fmaj7           E7
Gave me closure, immortal by design
                Am
I'll be meetin' you
           C     N.C
here every time
 
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Back from the dead,
 
back from the dead
    E7
I'm back from the dead,
 
back from the dead
    Am
I'm back from the dead,
 
back from the dead
    G
I'm back from the dead,
 
back from the dead
    Fmaj7
I'm back from the dead (Death),
 
back from the dead (Death)
    E7
I'm back from the dead (Death),
 
back from the dead (Death)
    Am
I'm back from the dead (Death),
 
back from the dead (Death)
    G
I'm back from the dead (Death),
                          N.C
back from the- (I'm back)
 
Fmaj7 E7 Am G
 

[Post-Chorus]
Fmaj7
   (Death, death, death)
E7        Am     G
   (Death, death)
 
(I'm back)
 
 
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7               E7
  They're sayin' my name
                  Am
in their prayers again
              G
I flicker the lights
              Fmaj7
so they understand
                E7
I won't say goodbye,
                  Am
I'm right by your side
                    G
We're screamin' and pleadin',
                Fmaj7
this separation ends
               E7
Doing all your witchcraft
            Am
to pull me in
                 G
Burnin' all your sage to
            Fmaj7
connect our line
             E7
I show my presence,
                Am
you run away in fear of ghosts
 
I try to talk,
    G
the barriers are too strong
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7            E7
When you aren't around,
                 Am
I sink into the ground
            E
I try to pretend
 
I'm closer to you
Fmaj7       E7
Never understand it,
                    Am
you're always on my mind,
         C      G
I cannot help it
Fmaj7              E7
I don't wanna be carryin'
 
the weight on my shoulders
Am
Death has come to me,
          G
kissed me on the cheek
 
Gave me closure,
Fmaj7          E7
immortal by design
 
I'll be meetin'
Am              N.C
you here every time
 
 
[Chorus]
