The beauty of this song is that the harmony between the vocal melody and the
 chords is just so gripping it sounds good with whatever instrument you play
 it on. I just wish I had an accordion or grand piano or some shit.
Fairly roughly done, you might prefer it with power chords
Intro:  Em   C   G  Am  
EmIn the orchard we sCee you once again
GListening only with the Amsunlight in your arms
EmIt's a change to seCe you in my world again
GOnly visiting but happy Amanyway
DIt's a joy
CTo see you waiting there
GLit up
EmLeft glowing in the air
DIt's a joy
CTo see you waiting there
GWriting letters
EmBurning in the air
Intro again
Repeat 1st verse chords:
In the picture we see you once again
Still leaning with the sunlight on your arms
Then the life sent itself into the air
Till someone came upon the frozen stare
It's a joy
To know you waiting there
Lit up
Left burning in the air
It's a joy
To see you waiting there
Writing letters
Burning in the air
EmBring all wonders to lightC  
GBring all wonders to lightAm  
x2
No lyrics for the next part, but:
Am  Em  G  Am
EmLike an ocean
EmLife that overcomes
EmLike an ocean
EmLikely follows Amright behind
The only one
Then shit gets real. On acoustic I just play around with Em as if I know what I'm doing 
following some kind of rhythm from the track.
GOn a lonely shiDp, we areEm  
Waking like an ocGean which is sighDing Emoh
GEven when I tolDd you were Emwrong
GTurns out you wDere right alEml along
GHold me open when I aDm with you
EmHold me open when I am with you
GYou know it's gone
DYou see me run
EmAs if to hide
GThere on a lDonely sEmhip, filled full
Of an oGcean which is bDurning Emoh
GMelt together when I Dam with you
EmHeld together when I am with you
GWe had it there
DWe had it there
I could have swEmorn
GTurns out you were Dright all alongEm
