    /()            /()

                     /()
that God himself did /make us into correspondong
/()                /()
/shapes like puzzle /pieces from the clay

And /true, it may seem like a /stretch
                                 /()
but it's thoughts like this that /catch my troubled head
             /()            /()
when you're a/way, when I am /missing you to death

     /()                      /()
When /you are out there on the /road
                     /()
for several weeks of /shows
                          /()

            /()
I hope this /song will guide you home


CHORUS:

/()                            /()
/They will see us waving form su/ch great heights
     /()               /()
come /down now, they'll /say
    /()                           /()

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 u/pon 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
