Capo II  
Intro: C 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
I felt no anger 
D
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    D
But my heart is staying here   
          G
When it's quiet out here 
D
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 running' water 
Em                   C
I think of running' away 
        G
But the fires burnt to ashes 
         D
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
