Kasey Chambers - Nullarbor Song

From "Barricades & Brickwalls" (2002)
(Kasey Chambers)
  
Capo: 2nd Fret

INTRO:  [G]  [D]  [Em]  [C]

When the [G]fire burns out here 
It’s [D]brighter than the city lights
[Em] Warmer than a heart of [C]gold
And [G]dingos howl just to break the si[D]lence
The [Em]sun comes up just to break the cold [C]
[G]  Last night I woke with the [D]stars looking back at me
[Em] Swallowing the sky [C]
[G]  I felt no anger, [D]I felt no shame 
[Em] I felt no reason to cry [C]

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

INTRO (x2)

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

CHORUS

I'll learn to live in a [D]new town
[C]  But my heart is staying here [G]
