Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away

Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones

[Verse]
F# B E Emaj7 E6
I don't understand that sound on the radio
F# B E Emaj7 E6
Only playing that song cause they told you to
F# B E Emaj7 E6
If man makes God in his own image

Just a little white lie, little white lie

There in all that you do

Hanging over you

Kills art, kills love

And it's killing you

Just a little white, little white lie

F# B E Emaj7 E6
Wanna make a little money, give your weight and your measure
F# B E Emaj7 E6
Keep your numbers high and the wolves at bay
F# B E Emaj7 E6
You could wind up in the Metro Guilty Pleasures
F# B
Once you get your name in that little black book
E Emaj7 E6
You can sign your life away
[Chorus]
F# B
To a little white lie, little white lie
E
There in all that you do
F# B
Little white lies, little white lies

Hanging over you
