  In the family home

  Your sister held her head in her hands
C#           F#      G#
  You should know

  Hiding from your old man
       C#            G#            F#add9
  It's different now but it wasn't then

  Then her leg brushed my hand
                 G#            F#add9
  It's funny now but it wasn't then
  G#           C#               F#
  She's a good friend   (In the family home)

  In the family home
D#                    G#                    A#
  Your father held his breath in the sedan
D#         G#       A#
  He should know

  He missed his afternoon show
      A#        D#            G#          C#
  The sun rains down with the afternoon's glow
         G#     A#   Cm
  It's a lie that you know
     D#              A#      G#add9
