Set the fire to the third bar

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