[Intro]
Bm      A   G   (x2)

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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                      Cadd9
And   sets me down in your   warm arms

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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                      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
And I    I pray that something picks me up
    A                      Cadd9         G
And   sets me down in your   warm arms
