Intro:

G |Emin |C C/B Amin |
>From St. Kilda to King's Cross is thirteen hours on a bus
G |Emin |C C/B
I press my face against the glass and watch the white lines
Amin |
rushing past
C |D |Emin
And all around me felt like all inside me
|Amin |C |D |
And my body left me and my soul went running
G |Emin |C C/B Amin |
Have you ever seen king's Cross when the rain is falling soft
G |Emin |C C/B Amin |
I came in on the evening bus from Oxford Street I cut across
C |D |
And if the rain don't fall too hard
Emin |Amin |
Everything shines just like a postcard
C |D |G |
Everything goes on just the same
C |C |G |
Fairweather friends are the hungriest friends
C |Emin G |
I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands
Solo :
G |Emin |C C/B Amin X2
C |D |Emin |Amin |C |D |
G |Emin |C C/B Amin |
I want to see the sun go down from St. Kilda esplanade
G |Emin |C C/B Amin |
Where the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hard
C |D
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour
Emin |Amin |
All that land, all that water,
C |D |
for that one sweet promenade.
C |D
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour
Emin |Amin |
All that land, all that water,
C |D |
for that one sweet promenade.
End:
G |Emin |C C/B Amin | (repeat to fade)
