Intro
B F# G#m E F#
Verse 1
B F# G#m E F#
Jenny left from Idaho and made her home in Capitol Hill
B F# G#m E F#
In a 300 square foot studio above a coffee shop near the Broadway Grill
B F# G#m E F#
And every night she walks the block to trade in her time for cheap thrills
B F# G#m E F#
And everyone she meets is cool, but just out of reach and it kills
Pre-Chorus
G#m E B F#
She used to spend her nights by firelight and singing to the stars
G#m F#
Now she's ours, now she's ours.
Verse 2
B F# G#m E F#
Kevin left from Denver where the air is clear and people are nice
B F# G#m E F#
And he traded it for sea level, for misty rain, what a bitter compromise
Pre-Chorus
G#m E B F#
For now he felt like he belonged to those who understood him
G#m E B F#
But he sold his soul to fit right in and he watched his friends desert him
G#m E B F#
He used to spend his nights by candlelight and drinking wine to vinyl
G#m F#
Now he's ours, now he's ours.
Chorus
E
It's a city of orphans
B F#
Who had nowhere to go
E
So they cashed in their dreams
B F#
Headed northwest to the sea and they called it their home
E
But most don't belong here
B F#
We're all running away
E B
And we'll drain you dry of all semblance of life
F#
We dont give, we just take, take, take
Bridge
G#m G#m
But this city has no Bible
G#m G#m
There's no meaning you can use
E F# B
We're all desperately searching for truth
Chorus
E
We're a city of orphans
B F#
Who had nowhere to go
E B
So we cashed in our dreams, filled our glasses with Beam
F#
and our bodies with smoke
E
and we spend every weeknight
B F#
trading pints at the Streamline
E B F#
and we talk about truth and we talk about love but we wake up to lies, lies, lies
Chorus
E
It's a city of orphans
B F#
where did our fathers go
E B F#
we stumble around in the bad part of town at the end of our rope
E
but there are no answers
B F#
on the tables of oak
E
if God could just hear us
B F#
we think that He's near, but He left long ago
E
We're a city of orphans
B F#
What do we do to ourselves
E B F#
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell
E B F#
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell
E B F#
We take all the good and the heaven around us and turn it to hell
Outro
B F# G#m E F#
Jenny left from Idaho and made her home in Capitol Hill
