[E7] [A]add11
Everybody here knows the story,
[E7] [A]add11
Some have fabricated extra parts.

See the sisters shouting whispers,
[F#7] [A/B]
Feeding hot air to the sparks.
Put a damper on the party,

For the benefit of Tom and Mary,
They've got to see the truth today.

Ms. Southern's son says here they come

And you could here a pin drop on the carpet floor
[F#] [F#/G#] [F#/A] [F#/Bb] [F#/B] [F#/C#] [F#/D] [F#/Eb]
Everyone's pretending not to hear them knocking at the door

For the benefit of Tom and Mary
Before our guests arrive
If they haven't found out already
It's gonna blow all of their minds
Haven't found out already,
And yet the seams all seem to show
That for the benefit of Tom and Mary
[A7] [C7]
For the benefit of Tom and Mary
[A7] [C7]
For the benefit of Tom and Mary
[D7] [Esus2]
We gotta let the truth be known.
