I [A]walked across a continent
where children did not bat an eye
when [Dm]made to watch their mothers die
they left the bodies by the sides of r[A]oads
where only willows cried
yes even my own eyes were dry
when s[Gm]omehow there I l[Bb]ost my bride
the ring slipped free and fell beneath t[A]he earth

so [Dm]like Orpheus I bowed and went far underneath the firmaments
my [A]harp strings broke

my voice was spent

I kissed my lady's hand and sent
my[Gm] two weeks notice with my rent
and[Bb] she grew cold and softly said
[A]I am not your lover I'm the [Dm]map you use to find her
I am [A]not your lover
I'm just a [Dm]map you [A]use to [Dm]find her

[Gm]  [Dm]  [Gm]  [A]

I [Dm]step outside my room once more
and see what I have seen before
anot[A]her ship washed to my shore
a figure walking towards my door
her [Gm]face is tired her dress is torn
I l[Bb]ook into her eyes and feel her [A]thirst

she says I've [Dm]come across these waters
high pressed on by such auspicious signs
I've [A]watched the stars and read the tides
the winds have brought me to your side
I [Gm]come to you
I am your bride
and [Bb]I grew cold as I replied
that [A]I am not your lover,
I'm the [Dm]map you used to find him
I [A]am not your lover
I'm just a [Dm]map you [A]use to [Dm]find him.
