Chords

This song isn't really based on chords; for the first part, it's just Tyler's rapping on a B minor. However, during the second verse, the 'key' changes from a B minor to a E minor and there is a bit of a chord progression. [Intro] Bm Bm Bm Bm Bm [Chorus]

Bm
Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet

         Bm
And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe

                     Bm
And though I feed on things that fell

You can learn to levitate with just a little help

Bm                                     
  Learn to levitate with just a little help

[Verse 1]

Bm
Come down, come down

                                   Bm
Cowards only come through when the hour's late

And everyone's asleep, mind you

    Bm
Now show up, show up

I know I shouldn't say this

      Bm
But a curse from you is all that I would need right now, man

Bm
Come down, come down

                                   Bm
Cowards only come through when the hour's late

And everyone's asleep, mind you

    Bm
Now show up, show up

I know I shouldn't say this

      Bm
But a curse from you is all that I would need right now, man

[Verse 2]

Bm
Danger in the fabric of this thing I made

  Bm
I probably shouldn't show you, but it's way too late

   Bm
My heart is with you hiding, but my mind's not made

         Bm
Now they know it like we both knew for some time I'd say

Bm
  They're smirking at first blood, they're circling above

Bm
  But this is not enough

                           Bm
Yeah, this is not what you thought

No, no we are not just graffiti on a passing train

  Bm
I got back what I once bought back

In that slot I won't need to replace

     Bm
This culture is a poacher of overexposure, not today

      Bm
Don't feed me to the vultures

I am a vulture who feeds on pain

Bm
  Sleep in a well-lit room, don't let the shadow through

Bm
  And sever all I knew, yeah, sever all

  Bm
I thought I could depend on my weekends

                C/B                      B
On the freezing ground that I'm sleeping on

                                      Em/B
Please, keep me from; please, keep me down from the ledges

                                    C/B
Better test it, wooden wedges under doorways

                 B
Keep your wooden wedges under doors

Em/B
Chorus, verse, chorus, verse

Now here comes the eight

      C/B
Wait, habits here too

           B
You're the worst, your structure compensates

          Em/B                                                   C/B
But compensation feels a lot like rising up to dominate by track two

                       B
At least they all know all they hear comes from a place

[Chorus]

Em/B
Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet

                   C/B                        B
And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe

                                 Em/B
And though I feed on things that fell

                                                  C/B
You can learn to levitate with just a little help

        B
You can levitate with just a little help
