INTRO: 
C C G G F7 F7 C G 
 
VERSE: 
C                     G         
I am thinking it's a sign 
                         F7 
that the freckles in our eyes  
                       C 
are mirror images and when 
                G 
we kiss they're perfectly aligned 
    C              G 
and I have to speculate  
                     F7 
that God himself did make 
                       C 
us into corresponding shapes like 
         G 
puzzle pieces from the clay 
 
VERSE: 
and true, it may seem like a stretch,  
but its thoughts like this that catch 
my troubled head when you're away 
when I am missing you to death 
when you are out there on the road  
for several weeks of shows  
and when you scan the radio, 
I hope this song will guide you home 
 
Chorus: 
C                            G 
they will see us waving from such great 
                F7                  C    G 
heights, 'come down now,' they'll saaaaayyy 
C                                 G 
but everything looks perfect from far away, 
        F7                    C    G 
'come down now,' but we'll staaaaayyy... 
 
VERSE: 
I tried my best to leave this all on your 
machine but the persistent beat it sounded 
thin upon listening and 
that frankly will not fly. you will hear 
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with 
the windows down when this is guiding you home 
 
they will see us waving from such great 
heights, 'come down now,' they'll say 
but everything looks perfect from far away, 
'come down now,' but we'll stay..
