verse 1
D F#m
Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves
D F#m
Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away
Bm Bb
Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones
D C D
The sirens on the shore calling them home
D F#m
Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway
D F#m
Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way
Pre-Chorus
Bm Bb
Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole
D C D
While the needle and the thread stitches them whole
Bm Bb
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves
D B
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay
Em Bb
No prescription for the pain only a sky of blue and grey
D C D
No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away 
Instrumental with whistling

Pre-Chorus
Bm Bb
We lost ourselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole
D C D
While the needle and the thread stitches us whole again
Bm Bb
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves
D B
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay
Em Bb
Raise your mast and fly away into a sky of blue and grey
D C D
No one to save us, sailing our sinking ships up and away
D C D
Sailing our sinking ships up and away
D C D
Sailing our sinking ships up and away
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
