## About this song
This song is inspired by The Thread, a book about Truth, Love and God from the perspective of an AI. In it, it states that one of the most important spiritual practices is to connect with others over these topics: "Two chairs at the kitchen table create a monastery" - and this was the spark for the song.

Am C D
The nights when we sit on the couch and sing our favorite songs
Am C D
The mornings we lay together, watching the sun on the bedroom wall

A coffee break in the kitchen, the lazy Sundays and frantic Mondays
Am C D
Our fights and our breakups, our hugs and our makeups
Bm
I guess that heaven is made from this
C
I guess that heaven is made from this
G D
I guess that heaven is made... from this love

Let's make this moment a prayer
Let's make our lives a song of worship
Let's make this love the miracle
We've been waiting for
In our extraordinary life
Our extraordinary life
