Snow Patrol- Set The Fire To The Third Bar Guitar Chords
Play along-
Standard Tuning
W/ capo on 2
Am/F-[x0321x] I x'd out the high e because it just sounds
better to not strum it. Your pointer can mute it.
Intro-
Am G F -x2
Am G F Am
I find the map and draw a straight line
G F Am
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
G F Am
The distance from "A" to where you'd be
G F Am
It's only finger lengths that I see
G F Am
I touch the place
G F Am
Where I'd find your face
G F Am
My fingers in creases
G F Am
Of distant dark places
(Am) G F Am
I hang my coat up in the first bar
G F Am
There is no peace that I've felt so far
G F Am
The laughter penetrates my silence
G F Am
As drunken men find flaws in science
G F Am
Their words mostly noises
G F Am
Ghosts with just voices
G F Am
Your words in my memory
G F Am
Are like music to me
(Am) C
I'm miles from where you are,
G F Am
I, lay down on the cold ground I,
C
I pray that something picks me up
G Am/F
And, sets me down in your warm arms
Am G F Am
After I have traveled so far
G F Am
We'd set the fire to the third bar
G F Am
We'd share each other like an island
G F Am
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
G F Am
And dreaming pick up from
G F Am
The last place we left off
G F Am
Your soft skin is weeping
G F Am
A joy you can't keep in
(Am) C
I'm miles from where you are,
G F Am
I, lay down on the cold ground And I,
C G
I pray that something picks me up and
Am/F Am
Sets me down in your warm arms
(Am) C
I'm miles from where you are
G F Am
I, lay down on the cold ground and I,
C
I pray that something picks me up
G Am/F ........ Am once
and sets me down in your warm arms
Have fun!

About LLG♥
Hello there! I’m a wife, mother and self-taught guitarist. I first picked up a guitar in 2010 and haven’t put it down since! I’m not that great of a player, but I get by. Besides, my talent isn’t in the playing, it’s in the ears ;)
I first discovered I had an ear for transcribing music while playing tabs on Ultimate Guitar. So many of them were just wrong! I started making correct versions and it just grew from there. I left UG having tabbed over 300 songs on that site. (I was the #1 Daily Most Popular Contributor for over 2 years straight, and I’m still in the top 10. Not bad since I haven’t posted a tab on UG in many, many years!)
In 2013 I created Live Love Guitar and amazingly enough, I’m still here! I’m just a little site but I think users know they can count on correct, well formatted tabs. I try to make my tabs as easy as possible while still being correct. This makes a huge difference for new players! I would have quit playing had I not learned the beauty of a capo and transposing :) My capo is my best friend!! (If you don’t have a capo, you must get one! It makes the world of difference for beginners! Go now! Then come back to Live Love Guitar and play away!)
Thanks for visiting and I hope I can keep up with all the song requests being submitted, keeping Live Love Guitar alive! :)
