                                 /(Dm)
but it's thoughts like this that /catch my troubled head
             /(F)            /(G)
when you're a/way, when I am /missing you to death

     /(C)                      /(Em)
When /you are out there on the /road
                     /(Dm)
for several weeks of /shows
                          /(F)
and when you scan the radi/o
            /(Em)
I hope this /song will guide you home


CHORUS:

/(C)                            /(G)
/They will see us waving form su/ch great heights
     /(F)               /(Em)
come /down now, they'll /say
    /(C)                           /(G)
but /everything looks perfect from /far away
     /(F)           /(Em)
come /down now, but /we'll stay


MORE VERSES:
  /(C)              /(Em)
I /tried my best to /leave
                 /(Dm)
this all on your /machine
                            /(F)
but the persistent beat, it /sounded
      /(G)
thin u/pon listening

    /(C)                    /(Em)
and /that frankly, will not /fly
                            /(Dm)
you will hear the shrillest /highs
                                 /(F)
and lowest lows with the windows /down
             /(G)
when this is /guiding you home
