Iron and Wine's cover of "Such Great Heights" by Postal Service. Pretty basic finger picking. Just listen to it a few times to pick it up. Interpreted by Patrick Nagy [Intro] C G F5 C G C G F5 C G [Verse 1]
C                    G
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles

       F5                         C
in our eyes are mirror images and when 

                G
we kiss they're perfectly aligned

    C              G
And I have to speculate that God himself

    F5                         C
did make us into corresponding shapes like

       G
puzzle pieces from the clay

C                       G
True it may seem like a stretch, but

                            F5
its thoughts like this that catch my troubled

                  C             G
head when you're away when I am missing you to death

C                             G
When you are out there on the road for

                 F5
several weeks of shows, and when you scan

        C             G
the radio I hope this song will guide you home
[Chorus 1]
C                             G
They will see us waving from such great

                F5                C    G
heights, "come down now" they'll say

    C                              G
But everything looks perfect from far away

       F5                    C    G
"come down now", but we'll stay
[Verse 2]
C                  G
I tried my best to leave this song on your

   F5                              C
machine but the persistent beat it sounded

      G
thin upon listening and

C                     G
that frankly will not fly. you will hear

              F5
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with

       C                   G
the windows down when this is guiding you home
[Chorus 2]
C                             G
They will see us waving from such great

                F5                C    G
heights, "come down now" they'll say

    C                              G
but everything looks perfect from far away,

       F5                    C    G
"come down now", but we'll stay
[Outro] C G F5 C G C G F5 C G End on C
