[Verse 1]
C Am
Dearly beloved
F C
We’re gathered here today
C
To pay our last respects
Am
To the guilt and regret
F C
That had me buried in my shame
C Am
See I was so hopeless
F C
I stopped making plans
C
Convinced my best was behind me
Am
The past would define me
F C
Don’t deserve a second chance
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C Am
Then I met you
F C
And everything changed
C Am
I met you
F C
And I’ll never be the same
[Chorus]
C Am
So I’m throwing a funeral, funeral
F C
For the old me
C Am
I’m throwing a funeral, funeral
F C
For who I used to be
C Am
The new has come the old is gone
F C
Praise the Lord I’m moving on
C Am
I’m throwing a funeral, funeral
F C
For the old me
[Verse 2]
C Am
All that was broken
F C
Has now been redeemed
C Am
I was the captive, the sinner, the beggar, the prisoner
F C
But now I’m set free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C Am
Because of you
F C
My soul has been saved
C Am
Because of you
F C
That old life’s in the grave
[Chorus]
C Am
So I’m throwing a funeral, funeral
F C
For the old me
C Am
I’m throwing a funeral, funeral
F C
For who I used to be
C Am
The new has come the old is gone
F C
Praise the Lord I’m moving on
C Am
I’m throwing a funeral, funeral
F C
For the old me
[Bridge]
C Am
I’m saying goodbye
F C
To who I’ve been
C Am
I’m saying goodbye
F C
To who I’ve been
C Am
I’m saying goodbye
F C
Never going back again
C Am F C
I’m saying goodbye
[Verse 3]
C Am
Now I don’t know when it’s coming
F C
But when my time runs out
C Am
I’ll be happy to leave yeah ‘cause it won’t be me
F C
They’re laying in the ground
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C Am
I’ll be with you
F C
Standing in the sun
C Am
I’ll be with you
F C
So until that day comes
[Chorus]
C Am
So I’m throwing a funeral, funeral
F C
For the old me
C Am
I’m throwing a funeral, funeral
F C
For who I used to be
C Am
The new has come the old is gone
F C
Praise the Lord I’m moving on
C Am
I’m throwing a funeral, funeral
F C
For the old me
