White Lies - From The Stars

white lies – from the stars

verse :

D G
i saw a friend that i once knew at a funeral
Bm G
he took the time out to be seen
D G
his eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch
Bm G
that he’d been given by a magazine

D G
he didn’t cry when the priest gave the sermon
Bm G
just pulled up the woollen collar on his fleece
D G
crossed his arms gave a sigh and checked the time again
Bm G
as he sat inches from the wife of the deceased

chorus :

Em G D
he catches raindrops from his window , it reminds him of how we fall
Em G D
from the stars back to our cities where we’ve never felt so small
Em G D
raindrops from his window , making puddles in his hands
Em G D
he sees how quick the water’s rising as another raindrop lands

bridge :

Em Bm D D 2

xverse :

Em D Bm
he took a chauffeur – driven car back to his hotel
Em D Bm
passing through the city streets where he was born
Em D Bm
he said , “driver , what’s happened to these buildings?
Em D Bm
they all look rundown and so forlorn”

Em Bm D
he took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse
Em Bm D
put the ’do not disturb’ on his door
Em Bm D
when the maid came in the morning
Em Bm D
she found him shivering on the bedroom floor

chorus : 2

x Em G D
he catches raindrops from his window , it reminds him of how we fall
Em G D
from the stars back to our cities where we’ve never felt so small
Em G D
raindrops from his window , making puddles in his hands
Em G D
he sees how quick the water’s rising as another raindrop lands
