Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  am thinking it's a sign
 That the freckles in our eyes  are mirror images
 And when  we kiss they're perfectly  aligned.
And  I have to speculate
 That God Himself did make  Us into corresponding
 shapes  Like puzzle pieces  from the clay.
True  it may seem like a stretch
 But it's thoughts like this that catch  My troubled head when you're
 Away  And when I am missing  you to death.
And  when you are out there on the road
 For several weeks of shows  And when you scan the Ra-
 -dio  I hope this song  will guide 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
I  tried my best to leave
 This all on your machine  But the persistent beat
It  sounded thin upon  the sending.
And  that frankly will not fly
 You'll hear the shrillest highs  And lowest lows with the
 windows  down And this  is guiding you home.
 This may not be 100% but it's close. Pretty easy.
