Chords with lyrics
This is how I play the song. I'll mostly be following Dave's voice. Noah's voice will be in [brackets.]
Suggestions and corrections welcome!
{Verse}
Mountains in Kauai, Make me feel so lowly, Cower at their power, Vertical I like
Dizzy under buildings, Bending like their willing, Is it what I?m seeing, Vertical is fright
FF 
G+G FF
[Hard to gain perspective, Often it?s perplexing, Reaching for a record, Vertical is sight,]
FF G+G FF
[Hanging on a pylon, Dropping from a million, Jumping hill to hill on, Vertical is height]
FF G+G
People live above you, Postured like a totem, Runnin? up some stairs oh, Vertical is might
FF G+G
Stalling on a nose and, Places to propose in, Seeing everything from, Vertical is light
FF G+G
Diamonds of the sky on, Black and endless background, Reaching out to grab them, Vertical at night
FF G+G
My imagination, Reaches to forever, Like an endless tower, So vertical I write
{Pre-Chorus}
F# minorF#m G+G 
A augmentedA
So high and still it sends a feeling through me
(Oh up above me falling over)
[Suddenly not vertical]
E MajorE 
D MajorD 
C# minorC#m
Breathe in the the air goes through a system that is
(down below me working steady)
[Weary when it?s vertical]
F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA
A majorA tree we are with limbs extending to the sun
(Single holly finches calling)
[Very lovely vertical]
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Come find me floating up if you should find me gone
(Nice and breezy spirits easy)
[And did you hear a child say?]
{Chorus}
D MajorD
My feet can't cross the parking lot
A minorAm
The parking lot is way too hot
[Then everything went vertical]
x4
{Bridge}
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
For me, for me, for me
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
{Verse}
FF G+G
At the tips of cities, Birds are tracing columns, Windows bend in wind, Vertical in flight
FF G+G
Down below a statue, People stand in poses, Making good impressions, Vertical delights
FF G+G
Lying on a trunk, And waiting to be dreaming, Startled by a thumpin, Vertical insight
FF G+G
Lots of people thinkin, Thinking about falling, Nothing but a rope so, Vertical hold tight
{Pre-Chorus}
F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA
Sometimes you feel the pressure dropping on you
(Heavy folders daring soldiers)
[Crashing from the vertical]
E MajorE D MajorD C# minorC#m
I start to wonder does this system matter?
(Crumbling boulder couldn?t hold her)
[Only if it?s vertical]
F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA
Even in leaves some creatures build themselves a home
(Ancient maples empty stables)
[Can?t always be vertical]
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Lifted above the din their worlds a peaceful dome
(Natures diet finding quiet)
[They don?t hear the child say]
{Chorus}
D MajorD
My feet can?t cross the parking lot
A minorAm
The parking lot is way too hot
[The everything went vertical]
x8
{Outro}
D MajorD A minorAm G+G A minorAm
The parking lot is way too hot
[The everything went vertical]
x8
