We're holding on too tight

[Verse 1]
F# A#m11
Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves
F# A#m11
Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away
G#m7 Bm6
Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones
F# E F#
The sirens on the shore calling them home
F# A#m11
Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway
F# A#m11
Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m7 Bm6
Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole
F# E F#
While the needle and the thread stitches them whole
[Chorus]
D#m D
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves
F# F#maj7 D#
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay
G#m7 Bm6
No prescription for the pain only a sky of blue and grey
F# E F#
No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away

Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay

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

If I'd caught that train before it pulled out

Who knows, it really might have worked out
[Pre-Chorus]

I'm just about ready to blow

I think about ending it all

From the twenty-fifth floor
[Chorus]

Behind sliding doors

I'm just about ready to blow

Behind sliding doors
[Bridge]

Behind sliding doors

Behind sliding doors

LITTLE WHITE LIES
Capo: 4
[Intro]

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

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

Some higher power comes calling in the final hour
