F#maj7             F7                 A#m
They're carvin' my name in the grave again
                 G#                   F#maj7
The flowers are fresh and their faces wet
            F7                    C#
My body has died, but I'm still alive
               C#maj7                      F#maj7
Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead
                  F7                 A#m
Lightin' all your candles to draw me in
               G#                         F#maj7
Sayin' all the same things, I'm gone this time
                F7
Your words mean nothin', so take 'em back
    C#
And meet me here across the plane
    C#maj7
The other side, I'm not far

When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it
You're always on my mind, I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carryin' the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek,
gave me closure
Immortal by design
I'll be meetin' you here every time

Chorus:
F#maj7
Back from the dead, back from the dead
    F7
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    A#m
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    G#
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    F#maj7
I'm back from the dead (Death),
 back from the dead (Death)
    F7
I'm back from the dead (Death),
 back from the dead (Death)
    A#m
I'm back from the dead (Death),
back from the dead (Death)
    G#
I'm back from the dead (Death),
back from the (I'm back)

F#maj7        F7
(Death, death, death)
A#m
(Death, death)
G#
(I'm back)

They're sayin' my name in their prayers again
I flicker the lights so they understand
I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side
We're screamin' and pleadin', this separation ends
Doin' all your witchcraft to pull me in
Burnin' all your sage to connect our line
I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts
I try to talk, the barriers are too strong

When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it
You're always on my mind, I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carryin' the weight on my
shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek,
gave me closure
Immortal by design
I'll be meetin' you here every time

Chorus:
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead
(Death)
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead
(Death)
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead

F#maj7             F7
Please don't ever worry
(Back from the dead, back from the dead)
(I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
            A#m
I know it's morbid
(I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
           G#
But we all die one day
(I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)

Chorus:
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the (I'm back)
