Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves

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

The sirens on the shore calling them home
B D#m11
Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway

Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way

Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole

Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves

No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away

[Verse]
C# F# B Bmaj7 B6
I don't understand that sound on the radio
C# F# B Bmaj7 B6
Only playing that song cause they told you to
C# F# B Bmaj7 B6
If man makes God in his own image
C# F# B Bmaj7 B6
It doesn't mean that it makes it true
[Chorus]
C# F#
Just a little white lie, little white lie
B
There in all that you do
C# F#
Little white lies, little white lies
B
Hanging over you
C# F#
Kills art, kills love
B
And it's killing you
C# F# B Bmaj7 B6
Just a little white, little white lie
[Verse]
C# F# B Bmaj7 B6
Wanna make a little money, give your weight and your measure
C# F# B Bmaj7 B6
Keep your numbers high and the wolves at bay
C# F# B Bmaj7 B6
You could wind up in the Metro Guilty Pleasures
C# F#
Once you get your name in that little black book
B Bmaj7 B6
You can sign your life away
[Chorus]
C# F#
To a little white lie, little white lie
B
There in all that you do
C# F#
Little white lies, little white lies
B
Hanging over you
C# F#
Kills art, kills love
B
And it's killing you

Just a little white lie, little white lie

If I don't answer the call, you can't say it's over

F# F#/D# B/E Bmaj7
Don't want to know how it feels to wake up sober
F# F#/D# B/E
And you don't want to hear any sound advice
[Outro]
F# F#/D# B/E
I want your lies (little white lies little white)
F# F#/D# B/E
lies (little white lies little white)
F# F#/D# B/E
