Intro
C chordC G chordG
Verse 1
C chordC G chordG
I am thinking its a sign
F9 chordF9
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
E chordE G chordG
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
C chordC G chordG
and I, have to specu-late
F9 chordF9
that god himself did make us into corresponding
E chordE G chordG
shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay
C chordC G chordG
and true, it may seem like a stretch
F9 chordF9
but it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head
E chordE G chordG
when you're a-way, when I am missing you to death
C chordC G chordG
when you are out there on the road
F9 chordF9
for several weeks of shows
E chordE
and when you scan the radio
G chordG
I hope this song will guide you home


Chorus
C chordC G chordG
they will see us waving from such great heights
F9 chordF9 E chordE G chordG
come down now, they'll say
C chordC G chordG
but everything looks perfect from far away
F9 chordF9
come down now
E chordE G chordG
but we'll stay

verse 2
C chordC G chordG
I tried my best to leave
F9 chordF9
this all on your machine

but the persistent beat, it
E chordE G chordG
sounded thin u-pon listening
C chordC G chordG
and that frankly, will not fly
F9 chordF9
you will hear the shrillest highs
E chordE
and lowest lows with the win-dows down
G chordG
when this is guiding you'ome


Chorus
C chordC G chordG
they will see us waving from such great heights
F9 chordF9 E chordE G chordG
come down now, they'll say
C chordC G chordG
but everything looks perfect from far away
F9 chordF9
come down now
E chordE G chordG
but we'll stay


C chordC G chordG
they will see us waving from such great heights
F9 chordF9 E chordE G chordG
come down now, they'll say
C chordC G chordG
but everything looks perfect from far away
F9 chordF9
come down now
E chordE G chordG
but we'll stay

End on G chordG
