G                    D
I am thinking it's a sign
                Am
That the freckles in our eyes

Are mirror images
      C                              G
And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.


G               D
And I have to speculate
                    Am
That God Himself did make
               C
Us into corresponding shapes
                   G
Like puzzle pieces from the clay.


G                        D
And true it may seem like a stretch
                             Am
But it's thoughts like this that catch
                             C
My troubled head when you're away
                               G
And when I am missing you to death.


G                                  D
And when you are out there on the road
                       Am
For several weeks of shows
                       C
And when you scan the radio
                                 G
I hope this song will guide you home.

REFR?O


G                                         D
They will see us waving from such great heights
       Am                G
"Come down now" they'll say
G                                      D
But everything looks perfect from far away
       Am                 G
"Come down now" but we'll stay


G                    D
I tried my best to leave
                   Am
This all on your machine
                    C
But the persistent beat
                            G
It sounded thin upon the sending.


G                          D
And that frankly will not fly
                           Am
You'll hear the shrillest highs
                                  C
And lowest lows with the windows down
                         G
And this is guiding you home.
