C – F x4

C F C
in the time that remains the stars will fade
F C
doesn’t take what’s wrong and make it right
F C F
it doesn’t change what’s come before

F G
a lot of people want to turn their heads
F Em Dm
and wave a flag and claim a moral fight
Em Dm
when there’s nothing right about it
Em F C
one of the little lies of time

F C F

C F C
just because you’re after all the men
F C
doesn’t take what’s wrong and make it right
F C F
it doesn’t change what’s come before

F G
a lot of people want to clear their head
F Em Dm
or beat a drum and hold your head up high
Em Dm
when there’s nothing right about it
Em F C
one of the little lies of time

F C F

( break )

F G F G F G

C F C F

C F C
a freighter anchors close to shore
F C
puts a weighted line , the sun goes down
F C F
and all this dirt , it turns to black

F G
a restless sleeper sticks his head outside
F Em Dm
and sees the light , and feels it come inside
Em Dm Em F
but he doesn’t recognize , it’s my kind of little lie and
Em Am Em
my tastes hold in the middle of the night
F
my kind of little lie and
Em Am Em
i know all the pretending it’s all right
F G
my kind of little lying time

C F C F
lying time
C F C F
a lying time
C
a lying time
