played with capo on 6thfret (relative chords in brackets)


Intro: F#(C) / C#(G) / B(F) / F#(C) C#(G)
       same chord progression throughout


Verse I:
F#(C)                 C#(G) 
I was thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our 
B(F)
eyes are mirror images and 
F#(C)                C#(G)
when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
    F#(C)          C#(G) 
and I have to speculate that god himself
     B(F)                      F#(C)
did make us into corresponding shapes like
         C#(G)
puzzle pieces from the clay
    F#(C)                    C#(G)
and true, it may seem like a stretch, but
                            B(F) 
its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
                   F#(C)         C#(G)
head when you're away when I am missing you to death
F#(C)                         C#(G)
when you are out there on the road for
                  B(F)
several weeks of shows and when you scan
        F#(C)           C#(G)
the radio, I hope this song will guide you home


Chorus:
F#(C)                        C#(G)
they will see us waving from such great
               B(F)               F#(C) C#(G) 
heights, "come down now," they'll say
F#(C)                             C#(G)
but everything looks perfect from far away,
      B(F)                  F#(C) C#(G) 
"come down now," but we'll stay...


Verse II:
F#(C)               C#(G)
I tried my best to leave this all on your
B(F)                               F#(C)
machine but the persistant beat it sounded
      C#(G) 
thin upon listening
    F#(C)                 C#(G)               
and that frankly will not fly. you will hear
              B(F) 
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with
            F#(C)             C#(G)
the windows down when this is guiding you home
