[Verse 1]
A Dbm
She ran outside,
Gbm
she left the party early,
A Dbm Gbm
ripping her dress, she got her stockings dirty.
B E
Standing in the rain,
B E
she swore she'd never hurt again,
B E
Although her thinking was slightly
A Dbm Gbm
influenced by the night that she'd abandoned.
A Dbm Gbm
Dinner for 5, she'd left the hostess stranded.
B E
She caused quite a scene,
B E
throwing her napkin down and rising.
B E
The guests pretended that they hadn't seen her aflame.
B E
The wine glasses were filled,
B E
and she started burning at the table.
B E
Informing her of the fable
[Chorus 1]
B E A Dbm Gbm
that this is her living funeral tonight.
A Dbm Gbm
This is her living funeral tonight.
[Verse 3]
A Dbm Gbm
So the legend goes, dinner deteriorated.
A Dbm
When she didn't return,
Gbm
the guests and their mourning faded.
B E
Running through the rain,
B E
she swore she'd never see them again.
B E A
Although her thinking was slightly deranged.
[Chorus 2]
Dbm
This is her living funeral.
A Dbm Gbm
This is her living funeral tonight.
B E
Attendance could be better,
B E
she could have worn a different sweater.
B E A
This is her living funeral tonight.
