  A
I walked across a continent
where children did not bat an eye
     Dm
when made to watch their mothers die
                                      A
they left the bodies by the sides of roads
where only willows cried
yes even my own eyes were dry
      Gm              Bb
when somehow there I lost my bride
                                        A
the ring slipped free and fell beneath the earth

   Dm
so like Orpheus I bowed and went far underneath the firmaments
   A
my harp strings broke

my voice was spent

I kissed my lady's hand and sent
  Gm
my two weeks notice with my rent
   Bb
and she grew cold and softly said
A                           Dm
I am not your lover I'm the map you use to find her
     A
I am not your lover
           Dm      A      Dm
I'm just a map you use to find her


Gm  Dm  Gm  A


  Dm
I step outside my room once more
and see what I have seen before
    A
another ship washed to my shore
a figure walking towards my door
    Gm
her face is tired her dress is torn
   Bb                             A
I look into her eyes and feel her thirst

              Dm
she says I've come across these waters
high pressed on by such auspicious signs
     A
I've watched the stars and read the tides
the winds have brought me to your side
  Gm
I come to you
I am your bride
    Bb
and I grew cold as I replied
     A
that I am not your lover,
        Dm
I'm the map you used to find him
  A
I am not your lover
           Dm      A      Dm
I'm just a map you use to find him.


Gm  Dm  Gm  A  (pause)

that I am not your lover,
        Dm
I'm the map you used to find him
     A
I am not your lover
           Dm      A      Dm
I'm just a map you use to find him.

     A
that I am not your lover,
        Dm
I'm the map you used to find her

I am not your lover

I'm just a map you use to find her
