[Intro]

C G F5 C G
C G F5 C G

[Verse 1]
C                            G
I am thinking it’s a sign that the freckles
           F5                                       C
in our eyes are mirror images and when
                        G
we kiss they’re perfectly aligned
       C                     G
And I have to speculate that God himself
      F5                                         C
did make us into corresponding shapes like
            G
puzzle pieces from the clay

C                                   G
True it may seem like a stretch, but
                                        F5
its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
                             C                       G
head when you’re away when I am missing you to death
C                                              G
When you are out there on the road for
                           F5
several weeks of shows, and when you scan
            C                  G
the radio I hope this song will guide you home

[Chorus 1]
C                                            G
They will see us waving from such great
                         F5                         C      G
heights, “come down now” they’ll say
      C                                             G
But everything looks perfect from far away
             F5                             C   G
“come down now”, but we’ll stay

[Verse 2]
C                         G
I tried my best to leave this song on your
      F5                                            C
machine but the persistent beat it sounded
         G
thin upon listening and
C                             G
that frankly will not fly. you will hear
                   F5
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with
           C                                G
the windows down when this is guiding you home

[Chorus 2]
C                                            G
They will see us waving from such great
                         F5                        C    G
heights, “come down now” they’ll say
       C                                            G
but everything looks perfect from far away,
            F5                              C    G
“come down now”, but we’ll stay

[Outro]
