Bm x24432 A x02220 G 320033 D xx0232 Cadd9 x32033 [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 "A" to where you'd "B"

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
