Verse 
Bm                            A 
We met on open streets, where we both have no place to go 
Bm                                A                                G 
I remember how my heart beat when you said, oh, Billy, 'I love you so' 
    A                        Bm                                         G 
Now standing in the doorway, did you ever think we could ever look this old? 
         A                  Bm 
Victims of the little white lies we told 

Verse 
Bm                         A 
We did not count tomorrows, we took what we could and and ran 
Bm                            A                              G 
There was no time for sorrow, ever place we went I held your hand 
             A               Bm                                           G 
And when the night closed in, I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know 
                A                         Bm 
But they never whispered the little white lies we told 

Bridge 
A                          Bm 
It's so good at the start, nothing could ever pull it apart 
A                                       G                        A 
Running hand and hand through the rain, but soon the heartbreak, soon the pain, girl 

Verse 
Bm                          A 
There were no cold denials, your body really lied 
Bm                                    A                          G     
It wasn't in the things we said girl, just types and promises in light 
            A               Bm                                 G 
And when it began to fall apart, eatin' quietly away from the inside 
       A            Bm 
Bit by bit by those little white lies

Verse/Outro 
    G               A                Bm                                             G 
Now standing in the doorway, did you ever think, ever think we could ever look this old? 
        A                   Bm 
Victims of the little white lies we told 
    G                  A            Bm                                      G 
Now lying here in the dark, did you ever think, ever think we could be this cold? 
        A                        Bm             G   A 
Just as cold as the little white lies we told 
              Bm     G   A 
Little white lies 
              Bm     G   A 
Little white lies 
              Bm     G   A 
Little white lies
