Verse
B D#m11
Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves
B D#m11
Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away
C#m7 Em6
Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones
B A B
The sirens on the shore calling them home
B D#m11
Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway
B D#m11
Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m7 Em6
Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole
B A B
While the needle and the thread stitches them whole
[Chorus]
G#m G
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves
B Bmaj7 G#
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay
C#m7 Em6
No prescription for the pain only a sky of blue and grey
B A B
No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away
[Instrumental with whistling]

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m7 Em6
We lost ourselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole

While the needle and the thread stitches us whole again
[Chorus]
G#m G
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves
B Bmaj7 G#
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay
C#m7 Em6
Raise your mast and fly away into a sky of blue and grey
B A B
No one to save us, sailing our sinking ships up and away
B A B
Sailing our sinking ships up and away
B A B
Sailing our sinking ships up and away
