Chords

[Intro] C [Verse] There's a wilderness, it's a no man's land
        F                     C
Between Alice Springs and the ocean

G                          E7      C
Seventeen hundred miles of burning sand
And a silken thread keeps a hold on you
         F                C       G
When the emptiness like a potion

                          E7       C
Tends to fray your reason strand by strand
[Verse]
            E7
And there's no more need for the mask you wear

         Am       G              C
When the last goodbyes have been said

   G        C              Am
So kiss the cheeks of your dearest friends

    G           D7/F#   G
And turn to the desert ahead

           C
Now you're on your own like a sailing ship

           F                         C        G
You're the captain, the crew and the sailors

                        E7       C    D7
Turn around and this is what you see
[Chorus]
        G   D7     G
This is me, facing me

     Em            A       D7
All alone 'cause I choose to be

         C                   G   D    G    F
With the wind and the sun on me, only me
[Verse]
        C
Now you dream so much about being lost

     F                   C         G
Your ghost by a coolabah sleeping

                        E7     C
Haunts you and whispers in your ear
Give up, give up this lonely road
       F                            C
No one knows the promise you're keeping

G                        E7       C
You can't touch the emptiness out here
[Verse]
          E7
But the grace that mends this broken wing

    Am       G    C
The blue sky to regain

     G          C        Am
Will lift those feet and raise those eyes

   G        D7/F#   G
To face the desert again

       C
As the dawn reveals the journey's end

   F                  C
In truth, it's only beginning

    G                        E7      C    D7
And it's as big as your eyes wish to see
[Chorus]
        G   D7     G
This is me, facing me

     Em            A       D7
All alone 'cause I choose to be

         C                   G   D    G
With the wind and the sun on me, only me
[Instrumental] F C F C G E7 C C F C G E7 Am D7 [Chorus]
        G   D7     G
This is me, facing me

     Em            A       D7
All alone 'cause I choose to be

         C                   G   D    G
With the wind and the sun on me, only me
[Outro] F C F C G E7 C
