Snow Patrol - Set The Fire To The Third Bar

“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 .
