Bm
             A               G           Bm
I find the map and draw a straight line
       A               G            Bm
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
       A               G               Bm
The distance from me to where you'd be
       A               G               Bm
It's only finger-lengths that I see

              A G Bm              
I touch the place 
                    A G Bm
where I'd find your face
                  A  G Bm
My fingers in creases 
                         A  G Bm
of distant dark places


Bm

            A         G            Bm
I hang my coat up in the first bar
             A         G            Bm
There is no peace that I've felt so far
             A         G            Bm
The laughter penetrates my silence
             A         G            Bm
As drunken men find flaws in science



                     A G Bm 
Their words mostly noises
                    A G Bm 
Ghosts with just voices
                   A G Bm 
Your words in my memory
                   A G Bm 
Are like music to me



Bm                      D       
I'm miles from where you are,
A                       G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm                      D
I pray that something picks me up
A                       Cadd9
And sets me down in your warm arms

Bm

       A         G            Bm
After I have travelled so far
          A         G            Bm
We'd set the fire to the third bar
            A         G            Bm
We'd share each other like an island
           A         G            Bm
Until exhausted, close our eyelids


                     A G Bm 
And dreaming pink wildfire
                      A G Bm 
The last place we left off
                   A G Bm 
Your soft skin is weeping
                    A G Bm 
A joy you can't keep it



Bm                      D
I'm miles from where you are,
A                       G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm                      D
And I pray that something picks me up
A                       Cadd9
and sets me down in your warm arms



Bm                      D
I'm miles from where you are,
A                       G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm                      D
I pray that something picks me up
A                       Cadd9
and sets me down in your warm arms
