[Intro]
      Bm     A     G(x2)
[Verse 1]
   BmI find the mAap and draw a Gstraight line
   BmOver rAivers, farms, and Gstate lines
   BmThe distance fArom "A" to where Gyou'd "B"
   BmIt's only fAinger-lengths that GI see
   BmI touch the AplaGce
   Bmwhere I'd find your AfacGe
   BmMy fingers in AcreasGes
   Bmof distant dark AplacGes
[Verse 2]
   BmI hang my cAoat up in the Gfirst bar
   BmThere is no pAeace that I've felt Gso far
   BmThe laughter pAenetrates my Gsilence
   BmAs drunken mAen find flaws in Gscience
   BmTheir words mostly AnoisGes
   BmGhosts with just AvoicGes
   BmYour words in my AmemorGy
   BmAre like music Ato Gme
[Chorus]
   BmI'm miles from Dwhere you are
I   Alay down on the   Gcold ground
I    BmI pray that something Dpicks me up
And   Asets me down in your   Cadd9warm arms
[Verse 3]
   BmAfter AI have travelled Gso far
   BmWe'd set the fAire to the Gthird bar
   BmWe'd share each Aother like an Gisland
   BmUntil exhAausted, close our Geyelids
   BmAnd dreaming, pick Aup fGrom
   BmThe last place we Aleft oGff
   BmYour soft skin is AweepGing
   BmA joy you can't Akeep iGn
[Chorus]
   BmI'm miles from Dwhere you are
I   Alay down on the   Gcold ground
And I    BmI pray that something Dpicks me up

[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
