Set The Fire To The Third Bar

Snow Patrol

Hm A G (2x)

1. I find the map and draw a straight line
   Over rivers, farms, and state lines
   The distance from me to where you'd be
   It's only finger-lengths that I see
   
2. I touch the place,
   where I'd find your face
   My fingers in creases
   of distant dark places
   
3. I hang my coat up in the first bar
   There is no peace that I've felt so far
   The laughter penetrates my silence
   As drunken men find flaws in science
   
4. Their words mostly noises
   Ghosts with just voices
   Your words in my memory
   Are like music to me

R: I'm miles from where you are,
   I lay down on the cold ground
   I pray that something picks me up
   And sets me down in your warm arms

5. After I have travelled so far
   We'd set the fire to the third bar
   We'd share each other like an island
   Until exhausted, close our eyelids
   
6. And dreaming pink wildfire
   The last place we left off
   Your soft skin is weeping
   A joy you can't keep it

R: 2x
