Chords with lyrics
Antje Duvekot - Vertigo
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: G+G B7B7 C majorC G+G
B7B7 C majorC
You're on a highwire
Asus2Asus2
And I'm climbing out
G+G D MajorD
And I feel the danger
C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
As I steal a kiss from your mouth
B7B7 C majorC
And I will try to hold steady
Asus2Asus2
Wanna make you believe
G+G D MajorD
That the height of this tightrope
C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
Is just second nature to me
CHORUS:
G+G G/F#
But I will break all my bones
C majorC
'Cause I lied about the vertigo
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
And I have never been up this high
G+G C majorC
There'll be no safety net
G+G G/F# E minorEm
When I fall right out of the sky
A minorAm C majorC
There will be no ambulance waiting
D MajorD G+G
But I have no wings to fly
B7B7 C majorC
And we will meet on the borders
Asus2Asus2
Barefoot and blessed
G+G D MajorD
In colourful graveyards
C majorC G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
With flower bouquets for the dead
B7B7 C majorC
And I don't ask you to promise
Asus2Asus2
That I will not come to harm
G+G D MajorD
But when the wind tugs my courage
C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
Will you be my brother in arms?
CHORUS:
G+G G/F#
'Cause I will break all my bones
C majorC
'Cause I lied about the vertigo
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
And I have never been up this high
G+G C majorC
There'll be no safety net
G+G G/F# E minorEm
When I fall right out of the sky
A minorAm C majorC
There will be no ambulance waiting
D MajorD G+G
But I have no wings to fly
BRIDGE:
A minorAm FF
But the view from this height
C majorC G+G
High above the Ferris wheel lights
A minorAm FF
May cause me to sway
C majorC G+G
But I am teaching myself to be brave
INSTRUMENTAL: B7B7 C majorC A augmentedA G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
CHORUS:
G+G G/F#
But I may break all my bones
C majorC
'Cause I lied about the vertigo
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD C majorC G6G6 A minorAm
And I have never been up this high
G+G C majorC
There'll be no safety net
G+G G/F# E minorEm
When I fall right out of the sky
A minorAm C majorC
There will be no ambulance waiting
D MajorD G+G
But I have no wings to fly
