Such Great Heights-- Streetlight Manifesto
Horn Intro: No Chords
Verse 1:
F C
I, I'm thinking it's a sign
Gm Bb F
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.
F C
And I, I have to speculate that God himself
Gm Bb F
did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay.
Verse 2:
F C
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but its thoughts like this that
Gm Bb F
catch my troubled head when you're away when I am missing you to death.
F C
When you are out there on the road for several weeks of
Gm Bb
shows and when you scan the radio, I hope this song will guide you.
Chorus:
F C Gm Dm
They will see us waving from such great heights, "come down now" they'll say.
F C Gm Dm
But everything looks perfect from far away, "come down now" but we'll stay...
Instrumental: F Am Gm x2
Verse 3:
F C
I, I tried my best to leave this all on your
Gm Bb
machine, but the persistent beat- it sounded thin upon listening.
F C
And that frankly will not fly. You will hear
Gm Bb
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with the windows down when this is guiding you home.
Chorus:
F C Gm Dm
They will see us waving from such great heights, "come down now" they'll say.
F C Gm Dm
But everything looks perfect from far away, "come down now" but we'll stay...
Instrumental: F Am Gm x4
Chorus:
F C Gm Dm
They will see us waving from such great heights, "come down now" they'll say.
F C Gm Dm
But everything looks perfect from far away, "come down now" but we'll stay...
Horn Break: F C Gm Dm x2
Chorus:
F C Gm Dm
They will see us waving from such great heights, "come down now" they'll say.
F C Gm Dm
But everything looks perfect from far away, "come down now" but we'll stay...
