[Verse 1]
C# Fm11
Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves
C# Fm11
Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away
D#m7 F#m6
Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones
C# B C#
The sirens on the shore calling them home
C# Fm11
Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway
C# Fm11
Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m7 F#m6
Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole
C# B C#
While the needle and the thread stitches them whole
[Chorus]
A#m A
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves
C# C#maj7 A#
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay
D#m7 F#m6
No prescription for the pain only a sky of blue and grey
C# B C#
No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away

[Verse]
D# G# C# C#maj7 C#6
I don't understand that sound on the radio
D# G# C# C#maj7 C#6
Only playing that song cause they told you to
D# G# C# C#maj7 C#6
If man makes God in his own image
D# G# C# C#maj7 C#6
It doesn't mean that it makes it true
[Chorus]
D# G#
Just a little white lie, little white lie
C#
There in all that you do
D# G#
Little white lies, little white lies
C#
Hanging over you
D# G#
Kills art, kills love
C#
And it's killing you
D# G# C# C#maj7 C#6
Just a little white, little white lie
[Verse]
D# G# C# C#maj7 C#6
Wanna make a little money, give your weight and your measure
D# G# C# C#maj7 C#6
Keep your numbers high and the wolves at bay
D# G# C# C#maj7 C#6
You could wind up in the Metro Guilty Pleasures
D# G#
Once you get your name in that little black book
C# C#maj7 C#6
You can sign your life away
[Chorus]
D# G#
To a little white lie, little white lie
C#
There in all that you do
D# G#
Little white lies, little white lies
C#
Hanging over you
D# G#
Kills art, kills love
C#
And it's killing you
D# G# C# C#maj7 C#6
Just a little white lie, little white lie

If I don't answer the call, you can't say it's over
G# G#/F C#/F# C#maj7
If I don't look up, you won't catch my eye
G# G#/F C#/F# C#maj7
Don't want to know how it feels to wake up sober
G# G#/F C#/F#
And you don't want to hear any sound advice
[Outro]
G# G#/F C#/F#
I want your lies (little white lies little white)
G# G#/F C#/F#

Some higher power comes calling in the final hour
