Orphans by Beck
Orphans
D
(Verse 1): I think I'm stranded but I don't know where
Bb C D
I got this diamond that don't know how to shine
D
In the sun where these dark winds wail
Bb C D
and these children leave their rulers behind
Bb C D
As we cross ten leagues from a Rubicon
Bb C D
with matchsticks for my bones
Bb C F G
If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive
Bb C D
We can learn to leave these burdens to burn
F C
(Break): Cast out these creatures of woe
G D
Who shatter themselves
F C G D
Fighting a fire with your bare hands
(Verse 2, same chords as Verse 1):
Now my journey takes me further south
I wanna hear what the blind men sing
With their fossils and their gypsy bones
I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone
And how can I make new again
What rusts every time it rains
And the rain it comes, and floods our lungs
We're just orphans in a title wave's wake
Bm D
(End): If I wake up and see my maker comin'
Bm D
With all of his crimson and his iron desire
Bb D
We'll drag the streets with the baggage of longing
C G F
To be loved or destroyed, from a void
C G D
to a grain of sand in your hand.

Think I'm stranded but I don't know where
I got this diamond that don't know how to shine
In the sun where these dark winds wail
And the children leave their rulers behind
As you cross ten leagues from a rubicon
With matchsticks for my bones
If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive
We could learn to leave these burdens to burn
Cast out these creatures of woe
Who shatter themselves
Fighting the fire with your bare hands
Now my journey takes me further south
I want to hear what the blind men sing
With their fossils and their gypsy bones
I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone
How can I make new again what rust every time it rains?
And the rain, it comes and floods our lungs
We're just orphans in a tidal wave's wake
If I wake up and see my maker coming
With all of his crimson and his iron desire
We'll drag the streets with baggage of longing
To be loved or destroyed from a void
To a grain of sand in your hand
Ahhhh
Ahhhh ooh ooh
Ahhhh oooh ooh
Ahhhh oooh ooh
