Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][C]
[Em][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I find the map a[D]nd draw a stra[C]ight line
[Em]Over ri ve[D]rs, farms, and state[C] lines
[Em]The distance from [D]here
to where [C]you'd be
[Em]It's only fing[D]er-lengths that I se[C]e
[Em]I touch the plac[D]e[C]
[Em]where I'd find your face[D][C]
[Em]My fingers in crea[D]ses[C]
[Em]of distant dark plac[D]es[C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]I hang my coat[D] up in the first[C] bar
[Em]There is no peac[D]e that I've found so f[C]ar
[Em]The laughter pe ne[D]trates my sile[C]nce
[Em]As drunken men f[D]ind flaws in scien[C]ce
[Em]Their words mostly noise[D]s[C]
[Em]Ghosts with just voice[D]s[C]
[Em]Your words in my memor[D]y[C]
[Em]Are like music to me[D][C]

[Chorus 1]
[Em]I'm miles from where[G] you are
[D]I lay down on t[C]he cold ground, I
[Em]I pray that something pick[G]s me up
[D]And sets me down in your
[F]warm arms

[Verse 3]
[Em]After I ha[D]ve traveled so far[C]
[Em]We'd set the fi re[D] to the thir[C]d bar
[Em]We'd share each othe[D]r like an isla[C]nd
[Em]Until exhaus[D]ted close our eyel[C]ids
[Em]And dreaming, pick up fr[D]om[C]
[Em]The last place we left[D] off[C]
[Em]Your soft skin is weep[D]ing[F]
[Em]A joy you can't keep[D] in[C]

[Chorus 2]
[Em]I'm miles from where[C] you are
[D]I lay down on t[C]he cold ground, and I
[Em]I pray that something pick[G]s me up
[D]And sets me down in your
[C]warm arms

[Chorus 3]
[Em]I'm miles from where[G] you are
[D]I lay down on t[C]he cold ground, and I
[Em]I pray that something pick[G]s me up
[D]And sets me down in your
[F]warm arms
[C]
