Orphans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G][Am][F][G]
[C][G][Am][F]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Goodbye circus wheel
May [F]you rest along the sea
I have [C]given you the fire of my youth
And the tri[G]umph o're my enemies
[Am]Goodbye fair weather home,
and your [F]faithless factories
I have [C]given you the blood and the truth
From the [G]wounds they laid onto me
And [Am]whatever they left, well,
I [G]kept it for my [F]own heart
[G]

[Verse 2]
And the [C]lonesome all understand
With the [G]choirs in my head
And we were [Am]orphans before
We were ever the sons of re[F]gret
[G]My baby
And [C]on and on and on
The al[G]phabet boys carry on
We were [Am]orphans before
We were ever the sons of these [F]songs[G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]And now my lights, they never go down
They waltz the [F]moon and stars for me now
So you can [C]find some local libertine
To [G]take your daughters out on the town
And I can [Am]feel it in my aging bones
How [F]the sound of the rain mixes up
Into the [C]fountains where I
drank my [G]hero's blood
So [Am]I left you to find my
[G]very own hat full of rain
[F][G]

[Verse 4]
And [C]the lonesome all understand
With the [G]choirs in my head
And [Am]we were orphans before
We were ever the sons of re[F]gret
[G]My baby
And [C]on and on and on
The al[G]phabet boys carry on
We [Am]were orphans before
We were ever the sons of these songs
[F][G]

[Verse 5]
Now [Em]I'm trying [Am]to keep it straight
[G]Learning [Dm]all the street
[Am]s and the [G]alley[Dm]ways
And learning [F]where [Dm]they lead
[Am]Now that I'm left alon[Dm]e here to driv[G]e
But it's so [Em]hard to stand on [E]your [Dm]own
Against mirror of glass, hard and cold
But the [Am]clothes I wore
Just don't [G]fit my soul any
[F]more[Dm][G][E][Em][E][Em][F]
No [Dm]the clothes [Am]I wore
Just don't [G]fit my soul anymore
[F]

[Verse 6]
[G]
And the [C]lonesome all understand
With the [G]choirs in my head
And we were [Am]orphans before
We were ever the sons of re[F]gret
[G]My baby
And on [C]and on and on
The al[G]phabet boys carry on
We were [Am]orphans before
We were ever the sons
of these songs
[F][G]

[Verse 7]
When we were [C]young
We [G]were diamond Sinatras
[Am]Like something I saw in a [F]dream[G]
We kept [C]our secrets in rooms
Locked up [G]tight like a tomb
[Am]Where the ballerinas lay

[Outro 1]
[F][G][C]
