[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
here every time

[Chorus]

Back from the dead,

(Death, death, death)

(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
you here every time

[Chorus]

Back from the dead,

back from the dead
E7
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

[Bridge]

Please, don’t ever worry

(I’m back from the dead,

back from the dead)

(I’m back from the dead,

back from the dead)
E7 Am
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)

(I’m back from the dead,
back from the dead)
