Verse
G# Cm11
Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves
G# Cm11
Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away
A#m7 C#m6
Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones
G# F# G#
The sirens on the shore calling them home
G# Cm11
Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway
G# Cm11
Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way
[Pre-Chorus]
A#m7 C#m6
Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole
G# F# G#
While the needle and the thread stitches them whole
[Chorus]
Fm Fb
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves
G# G#maj7 F
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay
A#m7 C#m6
No prescription for the pain only a sky of blue and grey
G# F# G#
No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away
[Instrumental with whistling]

Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves

Raise your mast and fly away into a sky of blue and grey

No one to save us, sailing our sinking ships up and away

Sailing our sinking ships up and away

Sailing our sinking ships up and away
