Bm...... A....... G x2

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 where I'd find your face
Bm........... A......... G
My fingers in creases 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 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

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
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 pink wildfire
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 it

Bm........... A......... G
I'm miles from where you are,
Bm........... A......... G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm........... A......... G
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

Keep rocking.............
