Intro: A5  E5  F#5  D5  E5



A5          E5          F#5               D5               E5
Jenny left from Idaho and made her home in Capitol Hill

A5          E5          F#5               D5               E5
In a 300 square foot studio above a coffee shop near the Broadway Grill

A5          E5          F#5               D5               E5
And every night she walks the block to trade in her time for cheap thrills

A5          E5          F#5               D5               E5
And everyone she meets is cool, but just out of reach and it kills

F#5                     D5               A5                E5
She used to spend her nights by firelight and singing to the stars

F#5            E5
Now shes ours





A5          E5          F#5               D5               E5
Kevin left from Denver where the air is clear and people are nice

A5          E5          F#5               D5               E5
And he traded it for sea level, for misty rain, what a bitter compromise

F#5                     D5               A5                E5
For now he felt like he belonged to those who understood him

F#5                     D5               A5                E5
But he sold his soul to fit right in and he watched his friends desert him

F#5                     D5               A5                E5
He used to spend his nights by candlelight and drinking wine to vinyl

F#5            E5
Now hes ours





                D5
Its a city of orphans

   A5            E5
Who had nowhere to go

                D5
So they cashed in their dreams

                A5                             E5
Headed northwest to the sea and they called it their home

                D5
But most dont belong here

   A5            E5
Were all running away

                        D5                  A5
And well drain you dry of all semblance of life

                             E5
We dont give we just take, take, take


Bridge:

F#5             F#5
But this city has no Bible

F#5             F#5
Theres no meaning you can use

        D5            E5              A5
Were all desperately searching for truth




                D5
Were a city of orphans

   A5            E5
Who had nowhere to go

                    D5                             A5
So we cashed in our dreams, filled our glasses with Beam

                 E5
and our bodies with smoke

                 D5
and we spend every weeknight

      A5            E5
trading pints at the Streamline

                   D5                     A5             E5
and we talk about truth and we talk about love but we wake up to lies, lies, lies

                D5
its a city of orphans

   A5            E5
where did our fathers go

                D5               A5                         E5
we stumble around in the bad part of town at the end of our rope

                D5
but there are no answers

   A5            E5
on the tables of oak

                D5
if God could just hear us

                A5                         E5
we think that Hes near, but He left long ago



                D5
were a city of orphans

     A5            E5
what do we do to ourselves?

                D5                       A5                       E5
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell

                D5                       A5                       E5
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell

                D5                       A5                       E5
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell




A5          E5          F#5               D5               E5
