Traffic screeches to a halt.

There's people searching for a better way,
       G+G  DsusDsus D MajorD E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9
To live their lives.
G+G   DsusDsus D MajorD          E minor 7Em7    Cadd9Cadd9
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
G+G      DsusDsus D MajorD      E minor 7Em7  Cadd9Cadd9
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
G+G     DsusDsus D MajorD       E minor 7Em7    Cadd9Cadd9
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
           G+G  DsusDsus D MajorD E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9
In the middle of the night.

E minorEm                C majorC
We celebrate the lives of the dead,

It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
E minorEm                C majorC
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
      G+G                 D/F
While their souls are still searching for the light,
              (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.

With all the things that I forgot to say,

Still racing through my mind.
