I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

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


Verse 3:
(Palm mute)

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


Chorus:
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

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


Verse 5:
(palm mute)

Bm                 A   G
And dreaming, pick up from
Bm                A    G
The last place we left off
Bm                A   G
Your soft skin is weeping
Bm              A     G
A joy you can't keep in
