F#m
Picture me standing in a forest fire
F#m
Counting every burning branch

Picture me sifting ashes through my hands
F#m A
Picture me sitting in a clearing now my head between my hands
D C#
You told me that the forest, wouldn''''t burn
[Refrain]
A C#m D C#
Why did I wait for so long, to see the silence in your song
A C#m D C#
And why did I hold out my hands, as if the rain would understand
[Verse 2]

You said you made your money when the markets crashed

I''''m gonna take a branch from the black tree

And plant a ghost gum to remind us

I''''ll Trace my way through the suburbs
A
And move in like a dry wind with no words

I''''ll take a fist full of charcoal

And draw my name on your white walls
F#m A D C#
Why did I wait

We''''re gonna build a fire there
