Nullarbor song (intro)

 
 G - D - Em - C
 
    G   D
1. When the fire burns out here, it´s brighter then the city lights,
Em       C
 warmer than the heart of gold,
   G     D
 and the dingo´s howl just breaks the silence,
 Em   C
 the sun comes up, just to break the cold.
G    D  - Em      C 
 Last night I woke with the stars looking back at me,   swallowing the sky,  
G - D   - Em      C
 I felt no anger,  I felt no shame,   I felt no reason to cry.
 
D   G - D  G
 If I´m not here in the morning I´ll cry a river of tears.
    D  - C   G
I´ll learn to live in a new town,  but my heart is staying here.
 
 G - D - Em - C (2x)
 
    G  - D
2. When it´s quiet out here,  a hundred miles away,
 Em     C
 you can here the train on the line,
G      D 
 a whistle blows just to break the silence, 
Em     C
 I wave just to break the time.
G   - D    - Em     C
 I close my eyes,    I think of running water,   I think of running away,
   G   D 
 but the fire’s burnt to ashes and it´s darker than before,
 Em      C
 but  I  can see as clear as day.      + CHORUS
 
   D     - C     G
 + I´ll learn to live in a new town,      but my heart is staying here.
