Intro:
C majorC
Verse:
There's a wilderness, it's a no man's land
FF C majorC
Between Alice Springs and the ocean
G+G E7E7 C majorC
Seventeen hundred miles of burning sand
And a silken thread keeps a hold on you
FF C majorC G+G
When the emptiness like a potion
E7E7 C majorC
Tends to fray your reason strand by strand
Verse:
E7E7
And there's no more need for the mask you wear
A minorAm G+G C majorC
When the last goodbyes have been said
G+G C majorC A minorAm
So kiss the cheeks of your dearest friends
G+G D7/F#D7/F# G+G
And turn to the desert ahead
C majorC
Now you're on your own like a sailing ship
FF C majorC G+G
You're the captain, the crew and the sailors
E7E7 C majorC D7D7
Turn around and this is what you see
Chorus:
G+G D7D7 G+G
This is me, facing me
E minorEm A augmentedA D7D7
All alone 'cause I choose to be
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G FF
With the wind and the sun on me, only me
Verse:
C majorC
Now you dream so much about being lost
FF C majorC G+G
Your ghost by a coolabah sleeping
E7E7 C majorC
Haunts you and whispers in your ear
Give up, give up this lonely road
FF C majorC
No one knows the promise you're keeping
G+G E7E7 C majorC
You can't touch the emptiness out here
Verse:
E7E7
But the grace that mends this broken wing
A minorAm G+G C majorC
The blue sky to regain
G+G C majorC A minorAm
Will lift those feet and raise those eyes
G+G D7/F#D7/F# G+G
To face the desert again
C majorC
As the dawn reveals the journey's end
FF C majorC
In truth, it's only beginning
G+G E7E7 C majorC D7D7
And it's as big as your eyes wish to see
Chorus:
G+G D7D7 G+G
This is me, facing me
E minorEm A augmentedA D7D7
All alone 'cause I choose to be
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
With the wind and the sun on me, only me
