The dogs are still expecting
your father is a general
Benjamin's a murderer
your sister is a sponge
your mother is a worker


C#5 E5    A5             E5              B5     
Jonah, I ran into your mom , she isn't aging very well

A5           E5         B5             E5      
sometimes I think her face is gonna burst

      A5                   C#5                        E5
cause hiding pain is work, and your mother is a worker

A5  E5        B5                   E5             A5               B5
Jonah, some thoughts about your sister -- her eyes are always closed

A5               E5         B5
ever since that day she's held a certain pose

F#5         A5               B5           E5            
it's not a coma, she's the opposite of numb

     A5                C#5                      E5
some people soak pain up, and your sister is a sponge

         A5           E5        F#5    E5
and your mother is a worker


F#5 A5     C#5       E5        A5               E5           B5 * 
Jonah, I still see Ben, but if i bring your name up the conversation ends

         F#5             A5           C#5            E5
cause he loaned you the shotgun you took up to the cabin

A5               E5       B5 *                    C#5          E5
whatever people say, he only hears the words 'Benjamin's a murderer'

     A5           E5            F#5          E5         B5 *
your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker


B5 *            A5               E5          B5
Jonah, Jonah, news about your dad -- you thought he drank before

A5      E5           B5 *                     A5               C#5
now he drinks, his body is at war and his stomach's never full

                       E5        A5            E5
cause your father is a general, Benjamin's a murderer

     F#5          E5            A5           E5        B5    A5
your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker


C#5                     A5       E5            A5                 B5
Jonah they gave me your goddamn dogs and I'm sick of what they do

     F#5           A5                F#5           E5
they bark at everything until they see it isn't you

          C#5                            F#5          E5
cause the dogs are still expecting, your father is a general

A5                           B5 *                       A5                   B5   A5
Benjamin's a murderer, your sister is a sponge, your mother is a worker
