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
F G F [Hard to gain perspective, Often it’s perplexing, Reaching for a record, Vertical is sight,] F G F [Hanging on a pylon, Dropping from a million, Jumping hill to hill on, Vertical is height] F G People live above you, Postured like a totem, Runnin’ up some stairs oh, Vertical is might F G Stalling on a nose and, Places to propose in, Seeing everything from, Vertical is light F G Diamonds of the sky on, Black and endless background, Reaching out to grab them, Vertical at night F G My imagination, Reaches to forever, Like an endless tower, So vertical I write
{Pre-Chorus}
F#m G A So high and still it sends a feeling through me
(Oh up above me falling over)
[Suddenly not vertical]
E D C#m Breathe in the the air goes through a system that is
(down below me working steady)
[Weary when it’s vertical]
F#m G A A tree we are with limbs extending to the sun
(Single holly finches calling)
[Very lovely vertical]
E D A 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 My feet can't cross the parking lot Am The parking lot is way too hot
[Then everything went vertical]
x4
{Bridge}
Bm A G For me, for me, for me Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
{Verse}
F G At the tips of cities, Birds are tracing columns, Windows bend in wind, Vertical in flight F G Down below a statue, People stand in poses, Making good impressions, Vertical delights F G Lying on a trunk, And waiting to be dreaming, Startled by a thumpin, Vertical insight F G Lots of people thinkin, Thinking about falling, Nothing but a rope so, Vertical hold tight
{Pre-Chorus}
F#m G A Sometimes you feel the pressure dropping on you
(Heavy folders daring soldiers)
[Crashing from the vertical]
E D C#m I start to wonder does this system matter?
(Crumbling boulder couldn’t hold her)
[Only if it’s vertical]
F#m G A Even in leaves some creatures build themselves a home
(Ancient maples empty stables)
[Can’t always be vertical]
E D A Lifted above the din their worlds a peaceful dome
(Natures diet finding quiet)
[They don’t hear the child say]
{Chorus}
D My feet can’t cross the parking lot Am The parking lot is way too hot
[The everything went vertical]
x8
{Outro}
D Am G Am The parking lot is way too hot
[The everything went vertical]
x8
