Intro: / C - - - / - - - - / G - - - / - - - - / F6sus2 - - - / - - - - /

           / C - - - / G - - - /

 

C (2)                       G (2)

I am thinking it's a sign

                                F6sus2 (2)

that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images

          C                           G

and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned

 

       C (2)                 G (2)

and I have to speculate

                                 F6sus2 (2)

that God himself did make us into corresponding

   C                        G

shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay

 

          C (2)                               G (2)

and true, it may seem like a stretch

                                            F6sus2 (2)

but it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head

                        C                      G

when you're away, when I am missing you to death

 

           C (2)                              G (2)

when you are out there on the road

                                F6sus2 (2)

for several weeks of shows and when you scan the

     C                    G

radio I hope this song will guide you home

 

Chorus:

C (2)                                          G (2)

they will see us waving from such great heights

           F6sus2 (2)          C     G

come down now, they'll say

      C (2)                                      G (2)

but everything looks perfect from far away

           F6sus2 (2)              C     G

come down now, but we'll stay 

 

C (2)                       G (2)

I tried my best to leave

                         F6sus2 (2)

this all on your machine but the persistent beat, it

 C                    G

sounded thin upon listening

 

        C (2)                     G (2)

and that frankly will not fly

                                      F6sus2 (2)

you will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows with the windows

  C                        G

down when this is guiding you home

 

Chorus

 

Repeat Intro

 

End on C
