Bm A G x2 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 where I'd find your face Bm A G My fingers in creases 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 pray that something picks me up A Cadd9 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 pink wildfire 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 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
