  From St Kilda to Kings Cross is thirteen hours on a bus

| G            | Em                 | C         C/B       | Am
I press my face against the glass and watch the white lines rushing past

  | C           | D             | Em           | Am
And all around me felt like all inside me and my body left me

| C              | D  G
  And my soul went running

| G           | Em             | C        C/B   | Am
  Have you ever seen Kings Cross when the rain is falling soft?

| G            | Em              | C      C/B    | Am
I came in on the evening bus, from Oxford Street I cut across

  | C               | D            | Em                   | Am
And if the rain don't fall too hard, everything shines just like a postcard  

| C             | D         | G    [Fill1]
  Everything goes on just the same

    I keep my mouth well shut I cross their open hands

I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour, all that land and all that water

  For that one sweet promenade
