VERSE :

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 'A' 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 found 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 ,I
Bm                     D
 I pray that something picks me up
A                    Csus2
 And sets me down in your warm arms
VERSE :

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 ,I

Bm D

I pray that something picks me up
A                   Csus2
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 ,I
Bm                     D
 I pray that something picks me up
    A                   Csus2
 And sets me down in your warm arms

End.
