  			G		        D 
I am thinking it's a sign 
 		   Am 
That the freckles in our eyes 

Are mirror images 
      C					G 
And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned. 

G		   D 
And I have to speculate 
  			Am 
That God Himself did make 
 	  	C 
Us into corresponding shapes 
 			G 
Like puzzle pieces from the clay. 

G				D 
And true it may seem like a stretch 
	 			    Am 
But it's thoughts like this that catch 
                             C 
My troubled head when you're away 
                               G 
And when I am missing you to death. 

G                                  D 
And when you are out there on the road 
                       Am 
For several weeks of shows 
                       C 
And when you scan the radio 
                                 G 
I hope this song will guide you home. 

G                                         D 
They will see us waving from such great heights 
       Am                G 
"Come down now" they'll say 
G                                      D 
But everything looks perfect from far away 
       Am                 G 
"Come down now" but we'll stay 

G                    D 
I tried my best to leave 
                   Am 
This all on your machine 
                    C 
But the persistent beat 
                            G 
It sounded thin upon the sending. 

G                          D 
And that frankly will not fly 
                           Am 
You'll hear the shrillest highs 
                                  C 
And lowest lows with the windows down 
                         G 
And this is guiding you home.
