^BmTheir words mostly ^Anoi^Gses ^BmGhosts with just ^Avoi^Gces ^BmYour words in my ^Ame^Gmory ^BmAre like music ^Ato ^Gme

Chorus:

^BmI'm mile^Ds from where you are, ^AI lay d^Gown on the cold ground ^BmI pray t^Dhat something picks me up ^AAnd set^Cadd9s me down in your warm arms

Verse 4: e|----------0---------| B|---3-----------2----| G|-----4--------------| D|--------------------| A|-2------------------| E|----------0----3----| 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)

^BmAnd dreaming, pick ^Aup f^Grom ^BmThe last place we ^Aleft ^Goff ^BmYour soft skin is ^Aweep^Ging ^BmA joy you can't ^Akeep i^Gn
