G   D   Em   C

[Verse]
         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

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

[Instrumental]
G   D   Em   C   x2

[Verse]
          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 runnin' water
Em                     C
  I think of runnin' away
        G
But the fire's burned to ashes
         D
And it's darker than before
    Em                     C
But I can see as clear as day

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