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.
