The bass line: 
The first note is actually a low C# which you can't get unless you tune your E string down but sounds just  
fine as written.

Verse 

C    Em      D 
As a kid, my hands were red 
C        Em       D       
When you asked me I denied it 
C         Em        D 
I've told lies that never came true 
C       Em        D 
I have stolen and so have you

Verse 

C         Em               D 
 If we can make it through another day 
C        Em              D 
With you believing in my innocence 
C          Em               D       
And we can make it through another year 
C             Em            D                 C 
Cause we both need it to forget this fear 

G       Aadd9      C 
If it's all the same to you 
C 
Then it's just a little white lie 
G         Aadd9      C 
Then it's all the same to me 
C 
And it's just a little white lie 
G    Aadd9        C    
If I was to blame would you? 
C 
Would you still believe?

Verse 

C       Em       D     
I don't want you to forget 
C           Em       D            C 
Just pretend that it never happened 
Em       D                    C      
And it's just a little white lie 
Em       D                    C        C 
And it's just a little white lie 

G       Aadd9              C 
If it's all the same to you 
C 
Then it's just a little white lie 
G         Aadd9          C 
Then it's all the same to me 
C   
And it's just a little white lie 
G     Aadd9                C 
If I was to blame would you?

Would you still believe  
Em    D    C 
If I was a thief?
