Such Great Heights
Iron and Wine
 

 

(from Garden State - The Motion Picture)

[F] I am thinking it's a [C] sign that the freckles
in our [A#9] eyes are mirror images and [F] when
we kiss they're [C] perfectly aligned
and [F] I have to specul [C] ate that God himself
did [A#9] make us into corresponding [F] shapes like
puzzle [C] pieces from the clay
[F] true, it may seem like a [C] stretch, but
its thoughts like this that [A#9] catch my troubled
head when you're a [F] way when I am [C] missing you to death
[F] when you are out there on the [C] road for
several weeks of [A#9] shows and when you scan
the radi [F] o, I hope this [C] song will guide you home

[F] they will see us waving from [C] such great
heights, 'come down [A#9] now,' they'll [F] sa [C] y
but [F] everything looks perfect from [C] far away,
'come down [A#9] now,' but we'll s [F] ta [C] y...

[F] I tried my best to [C] leave this all on your
ma [A#9] chine but the persistent beat it [F] sounded
thin u [C] pon listening
[F] that frankly will not [C] fly. you will hear
the shrillest [A#9] highs and lowest lows with
the win [F] dows down when this [C] is guiding you home
