played with capo on 6thfret (relative chords in brackets)
listen to the record to get the picking if you like...


Intro: F#(C) / C#(G) / B(F) / F#(C) C#(G)
       same chord progression throughout


Verse I:
F#(C)                 C#(G)
I was...              sign that...
B(F)
eyes are...
F#(C)                C#(G)
when we ...          perfectly aligned.
    F#(C)          C#(G)
and I...        speculate that...
     B(F)                      F#(C)
did make....                  shapes like
         C#(G)
puzzle pieces...
    F#(C)                    C#(G)
and true...                  stretch, but...
                            B(F)
                           catch my...
                   F#(C)         C#(G)
                  away when...   missing you...
F#(C)                         C#(G)
when you...                   road for...
                  B(F)
                 shows and...
        F#(C)           C#(G)
      radio, I hope...  song will...


Chorus:
F#(C)                        C#(G)
they will...                 such great...
               B(F)               F#(C) C#(G)
               down now"...        say
F#(C)                             C#(G)
but everything...                 far away...
      B(F)                  F#(C) C#(G)
      down now,"...          stay...


Verse II:
F#(C)               C#(G)
I tried...         leave this...
B(F)                               F#(C)
machine but...                    sounded
      C#(G)
thin upon listening
    F#(C)                 C#(G)
and that...               fly. you...
              B(F)
              highs and...
            F#(C)             C#(G)
           down when...       guiding you home.


outro (like intro)

__________________________________________________________
The original version is in a different key (F) leading to:

Verse F / C / Bb / F C

There's also a slight difference in the chorus:

Chorus F / C / Bb / Bb Am

If you're lazy, just play with capo on 5th instead...
