Am Em x2 

Am                           Em 
Another story breaking in a safe and sleepy town 
Am                           Em 
Awoke to feel the fury of the fuel from underground 
Am                           Em 
There's money in the harbour it's a blessing and a curse 
D 
There's houses on the hillside 
F             Em 
Safety in a purse 


F                 Am            G 
And the wind and the rain ran away with us 
F                 Am            G 
And the newspapers no longer stain 
F                 Am            G 
There was cold in your bones when the windows shook 
F                 Am            G 
Like the black smoke has blown from my eyes 
D 
And there's a scar on the hillside 


Am                           Em 


Am                           Em 
Tremors travel far but I don't feel them like you do 
Am                           Em 
Remind you you're human and remind of what we'll lose 
Am                           Em 
There's money in the harbour it's a blessing and a curse 
D 
There's houses on the hillside 
F             Em 
Safety in a purse 


F                 Am            G 
And we pray for the rain and the wind to drop 
F                 Am            G 
For the calm in the eye of the storm 
F                 Am            G 
There was cold in your bones when the windows shook 
F                 Am            G 
Like the black smoke has blown from my eyes 
D 
There's a scar on the hillside 


Am                           Em 
And there's a scar on the hillside 
Am                           Em 
And there's a scar on the hillside 


F                 Am            G 
And we pray for the rain and the wind to drop 
F                 Am            G 
For the calm in the eye of the storm 
F                 Am            G 
There was cold in your bones when the windows shook 
F                 Am            G 
Like the black smoke has blown from my eyes 
D 
There's a scar on the hillside 
D 
And there's a scar on the hillside
