[Verse]
A
My brother got out of rehab
A                          C
Right around Christmas time
E
Mama made a turkey
                                       A
Daddy was worried he was gonna have to break up a fight
              F#m
Everybody was walking on eggshells
A                E
Drinking eggnog instead of beer
        A
We were holdin' our tongues, scratchin' our heads
          E
Wonderin' how the hell we got here

[Chorus]
      A
Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word
      D
Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts
      E
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
                           A
it's best to keep it hush, hush

[Verse]
A
We were sitting around the dinner table
E           A                  E
And we were eating our pumpkin pie
E
While the sugar-coated
                                           A
pretty little secret was eating everybody alive
     D
Well daddy's reading propaganda
         E
And he's talking 'bout the end of days
     A
Well cheers to the vodka mama's been sneakin'
      E                          A
Let's all gather 'round and pray ye

[Chorus]
      A
Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word
     D
Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts
      E
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
                           A
it's best to keep it hush, hush

[Instrumental]
A           D           E           A

[Verse]
A
So I snuck behind the red barn
                    E
And I took myself a toke
                     E
Since everybody here hates everybody here
                            A
Hell I might as well be the joke
 A   D
I'm gonna dance up on the table
E
Singing "This Little Light of Mine"
A
God gave it to me, what good's it gonna do me
E
If I don't, by God,
N.C.
let it shine

[Chorus]
A
Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word
D
Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts
      E
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
                           A
it's best to keep it hush, hush

[Bridge]
D  E          A
Hide your tattoo,
D
put on your Sunday best

Pretend you're not a mess,
       E
be the happy family in the front pew
      A
Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word
      D
Hush, hush, Oh you know the truth hurts
      E
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
                           A
it's best to keep it hush, hush

don't you dare say a word
      D
Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts
       E
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
                           A
it's best to keep it hush, hush

[Outro]
(Spoken)
What are the neighbors gonna think?
You better shut your mouth.
Hush it !
Be Quiet.
Shh
A                     D
Best to keep it hush, hush
