[Verse]
B E A Amaj7 A6
I don't understand that sound on the radio
B E A Amaj7 A6
Only playing that song cause they told you to
B E A Amaj7 A6
If man makes God in his own image

It doesn't mean that it makes it true

Just a little white lie, little white lie

There in all that you do

Little white lies, little white lies

Hanging over you

Kills art, kills love

And it's killing you
B E A Amaj7 A6
Just a little white, little white lie

B E A Amaj7 A6
Wanna make a little money, give your weight and your measure
B E A Amaj7 A6
Keep your numbers high and the wolves at bay
B E A Amaj7 A6
You could wind up in the Metro Guilty Pleasures
B E
Once you get your name in that little black book
A Amaj7 A6
You can sign your life away
[Chorus]
B E
To a little white lie, little white lie
A
There in all that you do

Little white lies, little white lies

Hanging over you

Kills art, kills love
