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
