Intro
[Bm] [A] [G]
Verse 1
[Bm] I find the [A]map and draw a [G]straight line
[Bm] Over [A]rivers, farms, and [G]state lines
[Bm] The distance [A]from "A" to where [G]you'd "B"
[Bm] It's only [A]finger-lengths that [G]I see
[Bm] I touch the [A][G]place
[Bm] where I'd find your [A][G]face
[Bm] My fingers in [A][G]creases
[Bm] of distant dark [A][G]places
Verse 2
[Bm] I hang my [A]coat up in the [G]first bar
[Bm] There is no [A]peace that I've felt [G]so far
[Bm] The laughter [A]penetrates my [G]silence
[Bm] As drunken [A]men find flaws in [G]science
[Bm] Their words mostly [A][G]noises
[Bm] Ghosts with just [A][G]voices
[Bm] Your words in my [A][G]memory
[Bm] Are like music [A]to [G]me
Chorus
[Bm] I'm miles from [D]where you are
I [A] lay down on the [G] cold ground
I [Bm] I pray that something [D]picks me up
And [A] sets me down in your [Cadd9] warm arms
Verse 3
[Bm] After [A]I have travelled [G]so far
[Bm] We'd set the [A]fire to the [G]third bar
[Bm] We'd share each [A]other like an [G]island
[Bm] Until [A]exhausted, close our [G]eyelids
[Bm] And dreaming, pick [A]up [G]from
[Bm] The last place we [A]left [G]off
[Bm] Your soft skin is [A][G]weeping
[Bm] A joy you can't [A]keep [G]in
Chorus
[Bm] I'm miles from [D]where you are
I [A] lay down on the [G] cold ground
And I [Bm] I pray that something [D]picks me up
And [A] sets me down in your [Cadd9] warm arms
[Bm] I'm miles from [D]where you are
I [A] lay down on the [G] cold ground
And I [Bm] I pray that something [D]picks me up
And [A] sets me down in your [Cadd9] warm arms[G]
