[Verse 1]
C E7
It's morning inside of this mess
Am
Of infrastructure and ivory towers
G
Surrounding the broken and dispossessed
C G
And all this destruction of such sacred things
E7
Nature displaced and defaced and encased
F
While they still have the nerve to call it God's creation
C Am
And I hear your voice in so much detail
G
From so many kilometres away
Darling, there's not a day
E
That I'm not counting hours and remembering your face
[Chorus]
F C
And if I could
G
I'd run to you
F C
Or at least I'd run till my lungs gave out
G
Till my head was pounding or my heart rate stopped
F Am G
But as it is I'm waiting fifteen more days
Cos you're the Bass Strait and a stateline away
C E7 Am G
C G E7 F
[Verse 2]
C
And my love, you're restless
E7
For you this world is too small
Am
Someday you'll see it all
Yeah we'll see buildings rise and fall
G
We'll struggle to make up our minds as to whether we miss them when they're
gone
C
As you take my hand
G
I know that we don't need that shit anyway
E7
All thoughts are but distractions from what is and ought to be
F
And by the same token, there is hope in everything
[Bridge 1]
C E7
So leave behind these worldly problems
Am G
We can take flight, there's only water
F
And earth, wind and fire to help and to hinder us
G
Tinderbox hearts to light a spark in this wilderness
C E7 Am G
Tinderbox hearts, tinderbox minds, tinderbox souls
F
Joined together by some force of nature
G
Some unknown chemistry
C E7 Am Dm G
Some twist of luck
C E7 Am Dm G
[Chorus]
F C
And if I could
G
I'd run to you
F C
Or at least I'd run till my lungs gave out
G
Till my head was pounding and my heart rate stopped
F Am G
But as it is I'm waiting fifteen more days
Cos you're the Bass Strait and a stateline away
C E7 Am G
C G E7 F
F
[Outro]
C E7
Tinderbox hearts, tinderbox minds
Am
Tinderbox souls, tinderbox eyes
Dm
Tinderbox skin, tinderbox bones
G
Tinderbox flesh, we'll ignite and explode
F Am G
We're untouchable
F F Am G
F F Am G
F F Am G
C E7
Tinderbox eyes, tinderbox minds
Am
Tinderbox souls, tinderbox hearts
Dm
Tinderbox skin, tinderbox bones
G
Tinderbox flesh, we'll ignite and explode
F Am
We're untouchable
G C
With you I need no notion of home
E7 Am G
C G E7 F
