Capo II


Intro: G D Em C


               G
When the fire burns out here
      D
It’s brighter than the city lights
Em                      C
Warmer than a heart of gold
     G                             D
And dingos howl just to break the silence

    Em                              C
The sun comes up just to break the cold

G                                         D
Last night I woke with the stars looking back at me
 Em             C
Swallowing the sky
          G                   D
I felt no anger   I felt no shame
Em                   C
I felt no reason to cry

D                       G
If I'm not here in the morning
D                    G
I'll cry a river of tears
                         D
I'll learn to live in a new town
C                        G
But my heart is staying here

G D Em C
G D Em C

           G            D
When it's quiet out here a hundred miles away
Em                C
You can hear the train on the line
      G                              D
The whistle blows just to break the silence
Em                        C
I wave just to break the time
G               D
I close my eyes, I think of runnin' water
Em                   C
I think of runnin' away
         G                             D
But the fires burnt to ashes and it's darker than before
Em                         C
But I can see as clear as day

D                       G
If I'm not here in the morning
D                    G
I'll cry a river of tears
                         D
I'll learn to live in a new town
C                        G
But my heart is staying here
                         D
I'll learn to live in a new town
C                        G
But my heart is staying here
