Intro C C G G Am Am G G

C C
I am thinking it's a sign
G G
That the freckles in our eyes
Am Am
Are mirror images and when
G G
We kiss they're perfectly aligned


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


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


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

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

C C
I tried my best to leave
G G
This all on your machine
Am Am
But the persistent beat it sounded thin
G G
Upon listening
C C
And that frankly will not fly.
G G
You will hear the shrillest highs
Am Am
And lowest lows with the windows down
G G
When this is guiding you home

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

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

C C G G
They will see us waving from such great heights,
Am Am G G
"Come down now,"
C C G G
They will see us waving from such great heights,
Am Am G G
"Come down now,"

It sorta works, I think you could easily use these chords.
However, it's suppose to be:

C-C-G-G-F-F-C-G

so just replace your Am with F, and the last G to a C to a G.
But your way works just as well.
