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
