Chords used: Bm 224432
Intro:
Verse 1 & 2:
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Verse 3:
(Palm mute)
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
Chorus:
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
Verse 4:
After I have traveled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
Verse 5:
(palm mute)
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
