"Set The Fire to the Third Bar"
Snow Patrol
Put the capo on the 2nd fret
Am C
I find the map and draw a straight line
Am C
Over rivers, farms, and state lines.
Am C
The distance from me to where you'd be,
Am C
It's only finger lenths that I see.
C G Am C G Am
I touch the place where I'd find your face.
C G Am C G Am
My finger increases of distant dark places.
Am C
I hang my coat up in the first bar.
Am C
There is no peace that I've felt so far.
Am C
The laughter penetrates my silence,
Am C
As drunken men find flaws in science.
C G Am
Their words mostly noises.
C G Am
Ghosts with just voices.
C G Am
Your words in my memory.
C G Am
Are like music to me.
Am C
I'm miles from where you are,
G
and I lay down on the cold ground.
Am C
I pray that something picks me up,
G
and sets me down in your warm arms.
Am C
After I have travelled so far,
Am C
We'd set the fire to the third bar.
Am C
We'd share each other like an island,
Am C
Until exhausted, close our eyelids.
C G Am
And dreaming pink wildfire,
C G Am
The last place we left off.
C G Am
Your soft skin is weeping.
C G Am
A joy you can't keep it.
Am C
I'm miles from where you are,
G
and I lay down on the cold ground.
Am C
I pray that something picks me up,
G
and sets me down in your warm arms.
Am C
I'm miles from where you are,
G
and I lay down on the cold ground.
Am C
I pray that something picks me up,
G
and sets me down in your warm arms.
End on Am, C, or G.
This was my 1st tab so I hope it's useful to someone! :)
God bless!
