Intro
C5 , G5 , F5 , C5 , G5 X2

C5                    G5
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
       F5                         C5
in our eyes are mirror images and when 
                G5
we kiss they're perfectly aligned
    C5              G5
And I have to speculate that God himself
    F5                         C5
did make us into corresponding shapes like
       G5
puzzle pieces from the clay
C5                       G5
True it may seem like a stretch, but
                            F5
its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
                 C5              G5
head when you're away when I am missing you to death
C5                             G5
When you are out there on the road for
                 F5
several weeks of shows, and when you scan
        C5             G5
the radio I hope this song will guide you home

Chorus:
C5                            G5
They will see us waving from such great
                F5                C5    G5
heights, "come down now" they'll say
    C5                             G5
but everything looks perfect from far away,
       F5                    C5    G5
"come down now", but we'll stay

C5                  G5
I tried my best to leave this song on your
   F5                              C5
machine but the persistent beat it sounded
     G5
thin upon listening
C5                     G5
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
              F5
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with
       C5                   G5
the windows down when this is guiding you home

Chorus:
C5                            G5
They will see us waving from such great
                F5                C5    G5
heights, "come down now" they'll say
    C5                             G5
but everything looks perfect from far away,
       F5                    C5    G5
"come down now", but we'll stay
