Intro: C/G  Em  Am  F 

 C/G                   Em 
There is a map of the world 
           Am            F 
that lies upon my weary face 
     C/G                  Em 
Each line representing a mile 
        Am                     F 
I've travelled from place to place 
       C/G 
The colours are fading 
      Em 
The edges are tattered 
       Am                     F 
It's growing with the worn of age 
 C/G                   Em 
There is a map of the world 
           Am            F 
that lies upon my weary face 

         Am 
That I cannot erase 
    Am 
I cannot erase 
Am 
Oooo-oooo 
    Am 
I cannot erase 

 C/G                          Em 
The current of life pulled me under 
    Am           F 
and I was swept away 
          C/G                  Em 
Expanding the distance between us 
        Am             F 
every second to every day 
    C/G 
I thought I had given 
Em 
all I could offer 
        Am                        F 
while trying to keep the dogs at bay 
         C/G                       Em 
But the current of life pulled me under 
   Am             F 
and I was swept away 

             Am 
Beneath the tidal waves 
             Am 
beneath the tidal waves 
Am 
Oooo-oooo 
             Am 
Beneath the tidal waves 
             Am 
beneath the tidal waves 
       Am 
I will be erased 

C/G                     Em 
There is a map of the world 
           Am            F 
that lies upon my weary face 
C/G                    Em 
There is a map of the world 
           Am            F 
that lies upon my weary face
