Such Great Heights Ukulele

(ver. 2)
Streetlight Manifesto
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...


Instrumental, till fade out: F  Am  Gm
