Vertical Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Mountains[F][G][D][G][D][G]
in Kauai
Make me feel so [D]lowly
Cower at their power
Vertical I [G]like
Dizzy [D]under building[G]s
Bending like their willing
Is it what I'm [D]seeing
Vertical [F]is fright
Hard to gain perspective
Often it's perplex[G]ing
Reaching for a record
Vertical is [F]sight
Hanging on a pylon
Dropping from a million
[G]Jumping on a hill
Vertical is height

[Verse 2]
People [F]live above you
Postured like a totem
Runnin' [G]up some stairs
[C]Vertical is might
[F]Stalling on a nose
Places to propose in
[G]Seeing everything from
[E]vertical is [C]light[G]
Diamonds of [F]the sky on
Black and endless background
Reaching [C]out [G]to grab them
[C]Vertical at night
[G]My [F]imagination
Reaches to forever
[G]Like an endless tower
[C]Vertical I [D]write

[Verse 3]
[F#m]So high and sti[G]ll it sends
[A]a feeling through me
Suddenly not vertical
[E]

[Verse 4]
Breathe in the [D]air the goes through
[A]a system that [C#m]is[A][F#m]
A tree we [D]are [G]with limbs extend[A]ing to the
sun [E](very lovely vertical)
Come find me [D]floating

[Verse 5]
up if you should [A]find
me gone (meet you in a child's day)
My [D]feet can't cross the parking lot

[Verse 10]
At the tips of cities
Birds are tracing columns
Windows [G]bend in [D]wind[G]
Vertic[E]al in [C]flight
[F]Down below a statue
People stand in poses
[G]Making good impressions
Vertic[E]al [G]delights
[D]Lying on a trunk
[G]And [F]waiting to be dreaming
[G]Startled by a thumpin'
Vertic[E]al in[C]sight
Lots [F]of people thinkin'
Thinking about falling
[C]Nothing [G]but a rope so
Vertical [C]hold [D]tight

[Verse 11]
[F#m]Sometimes you [D]feel [G]the pressure [A]dropping on
you (pressure from [Esus4]the verti[E]cal)
I start to [D]wonder does this system mat
[C#m]ter? (only if i[F#m]t's vertical)
Even in [D]leaves

[Verse 12]
[G]some creatures [A]build themselves
a home (can't always [E]be vertical)
Lifted [D]above

[Verse 13]
the din their [A]worlds a peaceful
dome (they don't hear the child [D]say)
