D                C                      D
In the time that remains the stars will fade
                    C                 D
Doesn't take what's wrong and make it right
           C                  D          C
It doesn't change what's come before




C                       D
A lot of people want to turn their heads
C                           Bm    Em
And wave a flag and claim a moral fight
             Bm      Em
When there's nothing right about it
Bm         C              D
One of the little lies of time


C  D  C  


     D              C             D
Just because you're after all the men
                    C                 D
Doesn't take what's wrong and make it right
           C                  D         C
It doesn't change what's come before




C                       D
A lot of people want to clear their head
C                            Bm      Em
Or beat a drum and hold your head up high
             Bm      Em
When there's nothing right about it
Bm         C              D
One of the little lies of time

D           C                D 
A freighter anchors close to shore
                C                  D
Puts a weighted line, the sun goes down
             C                 D          C
And all this dirt, it turns to black


C                             D
A restless sleeper sticks his head outside
C                                Bm   Em    
And sees the light, and feels it come inside
       Bm      Em              Bm         C
But he doesn't recognize, It's my kind of little lie and
Bm                    Em            Bm
my tastes hold in the middle of the night 
           C
My kind of little lie and
Bm             Em                  Bm 
I know all the pretending it's all right
           C            D
My kind of little lying time

 

      D       C      D     C
Lying time
        D      C      D     C
A lying time
        D 
A lying time
