INTRO: G  D  Em  C 
      

VERSE 1: 
         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

VERSE 2: 
          G              D 
When it's quiet out here a hundred miles away 
Em                            C 
You can hear the train on the line 
    G                               D/F# 
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/F# 
I'll learn to live in a new town 
C                       G 
But my heart is staying here
