City of Orphans The Classic Crime
CAPO 2
Intro: A E F#M D E
[A]Jenny left [E]from Idaho [F#M]and made her home [D]in Capitol Hill[E]
[A]In a 300 sq[E]uare foot s[F#M]tudio above a coff[D]ee shop near the[E] Broadway Grill
[A]And every n[E]ight she wa[F#M]lks the block to t[D]rade in her time[E] for cheap thrills
[A]And everyon[E]e she meets[F#M] is cool, but just[D] out of reach an[E]d it kills
[F#M]She used to spend her ni[D]ghts by fireligh[A]t and singing to [E]the stars
[F#M]Now shes ours[E]
[A]Kevin left [E]from Denver[F#M] where the air is [D]clear and people[E] are nice
[A]And he trad[E]ed it for s[F#M]ea level, for mist[D]y rain, what a b[E]itter compromise
[F#M]For now he felt like he [D]belonged to thos[A]e who understood [E]him
[F#M]But he sold his soul to [D]fit right in and[A] he watched his f[E]riends desert him
[F#M]He used to spend his nig[D]hts by candlelig[A]ht and drinking w[E]ine to vinyl
[F#M]Now hes ours[E]
Its a city of or[D]phans
Who[A] had nowhere [E]to go
So they cashed i[D]n their dreams
Headed northwest[A] to the sea and they called it[E] their home
But most dont be[D]long here
Wer[A]e all running[E] away
And well drain you dry o[D]f all semblance of [A]life
We dont give we just take, ta[E]ke, take
Bridge:
[F#M]But this city ha[F#M]s no Bible
[F#M]Theres no meanin[F#M]g you can use
Were all[D] desperately [E]searching for t[A]ruth
Were a city of o[D]rphans
Who[A] had nowhere [E]to go
So we cashed in our [D]dreams, filled our glasses wit[A]h Beam
and our bodies wi[E]th smoke
and we spend ever[D]y weeknight
tradin[A]g pints at th[E]e Streamline
and we talk about t[D]ruth and we talk about[A] love but we w[E]ake up to lies, lies, lies
its a city of or[D]phans
whe[A]re did our fa[E]thers go
we stumble aroun[D]d in the bad par[A]t of town at the end of ou[E]r rope
but there are no[D] answers
on [A]the tables of[E] oak
if God could jus[D]t hear us
we think that He[A]s near, but He left long a[E]go
were a city of o[D]rphans
what [A]do we do to o[E]urselves?
We take all the [D]good and the heaven arou[A]nd us and turn it to hel[E]l
We take all the [D]good and the heaven arou[A]nd us and turn it to hel[E]l
We take all the [D]good and the heaven arou[A]nd us and turn it to hel[E]l
[A]Jenny left [E]from Idaho [F#M]and made her home [D]in Capitol Hill[E]
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!
