City Of Orphans

CAPO 2 

Intro: A  E  F#m  D  E 



A          E          F#m               D               E 
Jenny left from Idaho and made her home in Capitol Hill 

A          E          F#m               D               E 
In a 300 square foot studio above a coffee shop near the Broadway Grill 

A          E          F#m               D               E 
And every night she walks the block to trade in her time for cheap thrills 

A          E          F#m               D               E 
And everyone she meets is cool, but just out of reach and it kills 

F#m                     D               A                E 
She used to spend her nights by firelight and singing to the stars 

F#m            E 
Now shes ours 





A          E          F#m               D               E 
Kevin left from Denver where the air is clear and people are nice 

A          E          F#m               D               E 
And he traded it for sea level, for misty rain, what a bitter compromise 

F#m                     D               A                E 
For now he felt like he belonged to those who understood him 

F#m                     D               A                E 
But he sold his soul to fit right in and he watched his friends desert him 

F#m                     D               A                E 
He used to spend his nights by candlelight and drinking wine to vinyl 

F#m            E 
Now hes ours 





                D 
Its a city of orphans 

   A            E 
Who had nowhere to go 

                D 
So they cashed in their dreams 

                A                             E 
Headed northwest to the sea and they called it their home 

                D 
But most dont belong here 

   A            E 
Were all running away 

                        D                  A 
And well drain you dry of all semblance of life 

                             E 
We dont give we just take, take, take 


Bridge: 

F#m             F#m 
But this city has no Bible 

F#m             F#m 
Theres no meaning you can use 

        D            E              A 
Were all desperately searching for truth 




                D 
Were a city of orphans 

   A            E 
Who had nowhere to go 

                    D                             A 
So we cashed in our dreams, filled our glasses with Beam 

                 E 
and our bodies with smoke 

                 D 
and we spend every weeknight 

      A            E 
trading pints at the Streamline 

                   D                     A             E 
and we talk about truth and we talk about love but we wake up to lies, lies, lies 

                D 
its a city of orphans 

   A            E 
where did our fathers go 

                D               A                         E 
we stumble around in the bad part of town at the end of our rope 

                D 
but there are no answers 

   A            E 
on the tables of oak 

                D 
if God could just hear us 

                A                         E 
we think that Hes near, but He left long ago 



                D 
were a city of orphans 

     A            E 
what do we do to ourselves? 

                D                       A                       E 
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell 

                D                       A                       E 
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell 

                D                       A                       E 
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell 




A          E          F#m               D               E 
Jenny left from Idaho and made her home in Capitol Hill
