Orphan Histories Elway
[Intro]
Em D (x2)
[Em]We wipe the chaff from our ha[D]nds
And the sweat off of our [Em]brows
We mourn the old setting sun[D]
And our empty bank ac[Em]counts
For all the damages we've do[D]ne in the service of a d[Em]ream
They say, b[D]aby, you'll pay d[C]early
[Interlude]
Em D (x2)
[Verse]
[Em]Oh how these roads make us ol[D]d
And the sunrise makes us qu[Em]ake
We live for scant scr*ps of hope[D]
Laid along the inters[Em]tate
Of all the places we'll go[D], we'll wind up memory and deb[Em]ris
And I'll say, k[D]id, you're coming wi[C]th me
[Cborus]
[G]I'll close my [G/F#]eyes and pret[Em]end to pray that r[D]ain never e[C]nds[D]
[G]But when the o[G/F#]ceans dry up,[Em] I'll know en[D]ough is en[C]ough[D]
And I[C]'ll sing s[D]oftly
[Interlude]
Em D (x2)
[Verse]
[Em]We'll take the last thing we know[D]
And we'll let it run our l[Em]ives
Serenade the devil with those s[D]ongs
We've sang too many ti[Em]mes
That just blow by and leave us n[D]umb with the thrill of our def[Em]eat
I'll keep the h[D]abit if it k[C]ills me
[Cborus]
[G]I'll close my [G/F#]eyes and pret[Em]end to pray that r[D]ain never e[C]nds[D]
[G]But when the o[G/F#]ceans dry up,[Em] I'll know en[D]ough is en[C]ough[D]
And I[C]'ll sing s[D]oftly
[G]I guess I'll [G/F#]see you aro[Em]und[D]
And I[C]'ll sing s[D]oftly
[G]I guess I'll [G/F#]see you aro[Em]und, s[D]ee you aro[C]und[D]
[Interlude]
C G D Em D (x2)
[Outro]
[C]Holy g[G]host
Let us l[D]ive until we're for[Em]gotten[D]
[C]Hold me c[G]lose
To the f[D]loors of masterless [Em]oceans[D]
[C]Holy g[G]host
To the s[D]ouls of motherless o[Em]rphans[D]
[C]Hold me c[G]lose
Til our h[D]istories lay still in their c[Em]offins [D] [C]
