Key: Bm
Introduction: Bm A G
Bm A G
I find the map and draw a straight line
Bm A G
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
Bm A G
The distance from me to where you' d be
Bm A G
It' s only finger-lengths that I see
Bm A G
I touch the place
Bm A G
where I' d find your face
Bm A G
My fingers in creases
Bm A G
of distant dark places
Bm A G
I hang my coat up in the first bar
Bm A G
There is no peace that I' ve felt so far
Bm A G
The laughter penetrates my silence
Bm A G
As drunken men find flaws in science
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
Bm D
I' m miles from where you are
A G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm D
I I pray that something picks me up
A C9
And sets me down in your warm arms
Bm A G
After I have travelled so far
Bm A G
We' d set the fire to the third bar
Bm A G
We' d share each other like an island
Bm A G
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
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
Bm D
I' m miles from where you are
A G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm D
And I I pray that something picks me up
A C9
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
And I I pray that something picks me up
A C9 G
And sets me down in your warm arms
