Intro: F C G Am G7/B C
(VERSE)
F C G Am G7/B C
I found it on the sidewalk last night
F C G
a coffin made of ivory
Am G7/B C
with its lid pushed aside
F C G Am G7/B C
As I was getting closer looking down
F C G
covered up in purple plastic balls
Am G7/B C
it was you that I found
F C G
Before I had a chance to
Am G7/B C
reach down and give my hand to you
F C G
like a champagne cork you got up
Am G7/B C
and disappeared
F C G Am
Oh uhhh uhhh uhh. Oh Seraphina
G7/B C
here is peace to your soul
F C G Am G7/B C
a lightyear gone, but not letting go
(VERSE)
Then I was at your funeral with my best friend
at a dive bar in your neighbourhood where all good things come to an end
he told me over and over again it might be hard to understand but
don't mourn the dead celebrate the life they gave
(BRIDGE)
A# Dm C Em
isn't it a shame that we have to go away
A# Dm C Em
when there is still so much that we never got to say?
A# Dm C Em
wouldn't it be nice if we could conti--nue
A# Dm C Em
to the end of the universe and beyo----nd?
(CHORUS)
Oh uhhh uhhh uhh. Oh Seraphina
here is peace to your soul
a lightyear gone
but not letting go
put that shuttle in reverse
