Intro: A E F#M D E
AJenny left Efrom Idaho F#Mand made her home Din Capitol Hill E
AIn a 300 sqEuare foot sF#Mtudio above a coffDee shop near theE Broadway Grill
AAnd every nEight she waF#Mlks the block to tDrade in her timeE for cheap thrills
AAnd everyonEe she meetsF#M is cool, but justD out of reach anEd it kills
F#MShe used to spend her niDghts by firelighAt and singing to Ethe stars
F#MNow shes ours E
AKevin left Efrom DenverF#M where the air is Dclear and peopleE are nice
AAnd he tradEed it for sF#Mea level, for mistDy rain, what a bEitter compromise
F#MFor now he felt like he Dbelonged to thosAe who understood Ehim
F#MBut he sold his soul to Dfit right in andA he watched his fEriends desert him
F#MHe used to spend his nigDhts by candleligAht and drinking wEine to vinyl
F#MNow hes ours E
Its a city of orDphans
WhoA had nowhere Eto go
So they cashed iDn their dreams
Headed northwestA to the sea and they called itE their home
But most dont beDlong here
WerAe all runningE away
And well drain you dry oDf all semblance of Alife
We dont give we just take, taEke, take
Bridge:
F#MBut this city haF#Ms no Bible
F#MTheres no meaninF#Mg you can use
Were allD desperately Esearching for tAruth
Were a city of oDrphans
WhoA had nowhere Eto go
So we cashed in our Ddreams, filled our glasses witAh Beam
and our bodies wiEth smoke
and we spend everDy weeknight
tradinAg pints at thEe Streamline
and we talk about tDruth and we talk aboutA love but we wEake up to lies, lies, lies
its a city of orDphans
wheAre did our faEthers go
we stumble arounDd in the bad parAt of town at the end of ouEr rope
but there are noD answers
on Athe tables ofE oak
if God could jusDt hear us
we think that HeAs near, but He left long aEgo
were a city of oDrphans
what Ado we do to oEurselves?
We take all the Dgood and the heaven arouAnd us and turn it to helEl
We take all the Dgood and the heaven arouAnd us and turn it to helEl
We take all the Dgood and the heaven arouAnd us and turn it to helEl

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!
