A
I walked across a continent
where children did not bat an eye
Dm
when made to watch their mothers die
A
they left the bodies by the sides of roads
where only willows cried
yes even my own eyes were dry
Gm A#
when somehow there I lost my bride
A
the ring slipped free and fell beneath the earth
Dm
so like Orpheus I bowed and went far underneath the firmaments
A
my harp strings broke
my voice was spent
I kissed my lady's hand and sent
Gm
my two weeks notice with my rent
A#
and she grew cold and softly said
A Dm
I am not your lover I'm the map you use to find her
A
I am not your lover
Dm A Dm
I'm just a map you use to find her
Gm Dm Gm A

Dm
I step outside my room once more
and see what I have seen before
A
another ship washed to my shore
a figure walking towards my door
Gm
her face is tired her dress is torn
A# A
I look into her eyes and feel her thirst
Dm
she says I've come across these waters
high pressed on by such auspicious signs
A
I've watched the stars and read the tides
the winds have brought me to your side
Gm
I come to you
I am your bride
A#
and I grew cold as I replied
A
that I am not your lover,
Dm
I'm the map you used to find him
A
I am not your lover
Dm A Dm
I'm just a map you use to find him.
Gm Dm Gm A (pause)
Dm Dm Gm Dm
A A Dm/A/Dm/
A
that I am not your lover,
Dm
I'm the map you used to find him
A
I am not your lover
Dm A Dm
I'm just a map you use to find him.
A
that I am not your lover,
Dm
I'm the map you used to find her
A
I am not your lover
Dm A Dm
I'm just a map you use to find her
