[Verse 1]
D
Mom, she died like a desert in bloom
A                  D
Now I feel for her like a missing tooth
C                                    Em
She rests between what is far and near
                  D
Where I can't see her


[Verse 2]
D
Now he's gone, my dad's gone too
A                           D
I watched until he was an empty room
C                                    Em
He rests between how it is and how it seems
                  D
Where I can't see him


[Chorus]
C   Bm    Am      G
I am an orphan
Em                 D
Bring them back to me
C   Bm    Am      G
I will forgive them
Em               D
Let them love me again


[Verse 3]
D
I'm lonely like I've never known
A                          D
We went as far as love can go
C                                Em
They rest between the edges of my dreams
               D
Where I don't need them


[Bridge]
D
Listen
D
I hear them


[Chorus]
C   Bm    Am      G
I am an orphan
Em                 D
Bring them back to me
C   Bm    Am      G
I will forgive them
Em                 D
Let them love me again
