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)

[Bm]Their words mostly [A]noi[G]ses
[Bm]Ghosts with just [A]voi[G]ces
[Bm]Your words in my [A]me[G]mory
[Bm]Are like music [A]to [G]me

Chorus:
[Bm]I'm miles from where you[D] are,
[A]I lay down on the cold g[G]round
[Bm]I pray that something pi[D]cks me up
[A]And sets me down in your[Cadd9] warm arms

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)

[Bm]And dreaming, pick [A]up f[G]rom
[Bm]The last place we [A]left [G]off
[Bm]Your soft skin is [A]weep[G]ing
[Bm]A joy you can't [A]keep i[G]n
