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


This is my first song to put up here. I'm not too sure on the 4 F#m's in the bridge
section, but it fits. I hope this works for you, Thanks!
