Half An Orphan

Eb   Bb Cm7   Bb Eb   Bb Cm7   Bb

[Verse 1]
Eb
I'm half an orphan
Bb          Cm7
I know it's strange when I say it
Bb    Eb                       Bb     Cm7     Bb
But I don't know how to put it otherwise

     Eb
It's now not a problem
Bb     Cm7
When I wonder who to turn to
Bb        Eb
If I ever have a problem
  Bb        Cm7      Bb
I can't ask you

[Chorus]
Fm            Ab
Three becomes two
Eb          Bb
Two becomes one
Fm          Ab
One becomes none
                Eb
And then you're done

[Verse 2]
Eb
I'm still a cyclist
Bb       Cm7
But with one stabiliser
Bb      Eb
Now I'm wobbling like
            Bb       Cm7      Bb
A drunk boy in a storm

Eb
I missed the lesson
Bb         Cm7
Where they tell you how to keep on
Bb       Eb
But hey, I know a lot
      Bb      Cm7      Bb
About Henry's wives

[Chorus]
Fm            Ab
Three becomes two
Eb          Bb
Two becomes one
Fm          Ab
One becomes none
                  Eb
And then you're done

Fm            Ab
Rocks become roads
Eb              Bb
Roads become hellos
  Fm              Ab
Hellos become goodbyes
                  Eb
And then you're done

[Bridge]
Fm               Cm
Mother, don't be wild
         Eb              Gm
Don't go chasing the bad guys
       Fm               Cm
'Cause I don't have the legs
         Eb            Gm
Let them get away this time
Fm             Cm
Mother, we got life
            Eb            Gm
So don't go looking for a fight
       Fm               Cm
'Cause I don't have the might
   Eb            Bb
To hold them all off

[Chorus]
Fm            Ab
Three becomes two
Eb          Bb
Two becomes one
Fm          Ab
One becomes none
                  Eb
And then you're done

Fm           Ab
Lows becomes highs
Eb               Bb
Highs have their time
Fm                Ab
Just like you and I
