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
