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