[Chorus]

You tell me lies, lies, lies

Sweet little lies

When I cannot bear the truth



You tell me lies, lies, lies

Sweet little lies

Help me make them all come true



Tell me that the rain won't fall today

Tell me that the taxman lost his way

Tell me that the hurtin ain't gonna hurt no more

Tell me that somebody stopped the war



[Chorus]

I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Tell me that the whole world's wonderful

Tell me that the bank account's still full

Tell me that we all got plenty of time

Tell me that I ain't gonna lose my mind (lift me up now)



[Chorus]



And you know I'm just a man

With my heart in my hand

You tell me things and hope

And ghosts won't leave me alone

And even though I got no plans

I'm on the run from the man

And just hold on to me

You just hold on to me



Every time I need a prayer

Every time I need to share

Every time I needed someone to hold on to me



[Chorus]

Help me make them all come true

Help me make them all come true

Help me make them all come true

Help me make them all come true

Help me make them all come true



[Spoken:] tell me that the whole world's wonderful
