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

C                             G
  Fairweather friends are the hungriest friends
C                             Em               G
  I keep my mouth well shut I cross their open hands

I want to see the sun go down from St Kilda Esplanade

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

For that one sweet promenade
