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

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
