Version 1 Version 2BODY IN A BOX - CITY AND COLOUR -------------------------------------------------- Capo 2. [Verse 1] G - D-Dsus-D - Em - C There's a funeral procession on the highway, Traffic screeches to a halt. There's people searching for a better way, To live their lives, oh-oh Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say As tears of sadness soak the ground. The reaper crept in, took his breath away, In the middle of the night, oh-oh [Chorus] Em - C - G - D-Dsus-D We celebrate the lives of the dead, It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies. We gather 'round to pay our respects, While their souls are still searching for the light, Searching for the light. [Verse 2] G - D-Dsus-D - Em - C So please don't come to me on my dying day, Just let me go in peace. With all the things that I forgot to say, Racing through my mind. And don't you bury me six feet under ground, Just burn my body in a box. And let my ashes blow with the wind, Out into the night sky. [Chorus] Em - C - G - D-Dsus-D We celebrate the lives of the dead, It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies. We gather 'round to pay our respects, While their souls are still searching for the light, Searching for the light. [Outro] Searching for the light, oh - oh, Searching for the light
