Snow Patrol - Set The Fire To The Third Bar (feat. Martha Wainwright): Guitar Chords

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

I touch the place
Where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases
Of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words, mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
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 pray that something picks me up
A                       C
And sets me down in your warm arms

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

And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weepin'
A joy you can't keep in

Chorus - x2
