Orphans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Think I'm stranded but [D]I
don't know where
I got this [Bb]diamond I don't
[C]know how [D]to shine
In the sun where the dark winds wail
And [Bb]the children leave
their [D]ru mors behind
As you [C]cross [D]tha[F]t ?[D]
The matchstick[G]s for [D]my bones
If we can learn how to freeze
ourselves alive
We can learn to leave these

[Verse 2]
burdens to burn
[F][Dm]
Cast [C]out these creatures of [D]woe[G]
[D]Shatter [F]themselves
[Dm]Fighting t[F]he f[C]ire with your bare[D] hands

[Verse 3]
[D]
Now my journey takes me further south
I want to [Bb]hear what [C]the blind men [D]sing
With the fossils and the gypsy bones
I stand be[Bb]side myself so
[C]I'm not [D]alone
[Bb]How [C]can I make n[D]ew again?
Or [F]rust every [G]time [D]it rains?
And the rain, it [C]comes
[F]Floods are [G]low
[D]But you stop un[C]til the tidal waves wake
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
If I wake up and see my
maker com[D]ing[Bm]
With all of his crimson and his iron desire
[D]We'[Bb]ll drive the streets
with baggage [D]alone
[C]To be los[Am]t, I str[G]ive from a voi[F]d
To a [C]grain of sand in [D]your hand

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 5]
[D]Ah
[C]Ah oh oh[D][Am][D]
Ah oh oh

[Outro 1]
Ah oh oh
