Animal Collective - Vertical

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[Hard to gain perspective, Often it’s perpl^Gexing, Reaching for a record, Vertical is si^Fght,] ^F[Hanging on a pylon, Dropping from a mil^Glion, Jumping hill to hill on, Vertical is he^Fight] ^FPeople live above you, Postured like a totem, Ru^Gnnin’ up some stairs oh, Vertical is might ^FStalling on a nose and, Places to propose in, Se^Geing everything from, Vertical is light ^FDiamonds of the sky on, Black and endless background, Rea^Gching out to grab them, Vertical at night ^FMy imagination, Reaches to forever, L^Gike an endless tower, So vertical I write

Pre-Chorus

^F#mSo high and st^Gill it sends a fe^Aeling through me (Oh up above me falling over) [Suddenly not vertical] ^EBreathe in the the a^Dir goes through a s^C#mystem that is (down below me working steady) [Weary when it’s vertical] ^F#mA tree we a^Gre with limbs ext^Aending to the sun (Single holly finches calling) [Very lovely vertical] ^ECome find me flo^Dating up if y^Aou should find me gone (Nice and breezy spirits easy) [And did you hear a child say?]

Chorus

^DMy feet can't cross the parking lot ^AmThe parking lot is way too hot [Then everything went vertical] x4

For ^Bmme, for ^Ame, for ^Gme Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Verse

^FAt the tips of cities, Birds are tracing columns, Win^Gdows bend in wind, Vertical in flight ^FDown below a statue, People stand in poses, Ma^Gking good impressions, Vertical delights ^FLying on a trunk, And waiting to be dreaming, Sta^Grtled by a thumpin, Vertical insight ^FLots of people thinkin, Thinking about falling, Not^Ghing but a rope so, Vertical hold tight

Pre-Chorus

^F#mSometimes you f^Geel the pressure dro^Apping on you (Heavy folders daring soldiers) [Crashing from the vertical] ^EI start to wo^Dnder does this s^C#mystem matter? (Crumbling boulder couldn’t hold her) [Only if it’s vertical] ^F#mEven in le^Gaves some creatures bu^Aild themselves a home (Ancient maples empty stables) [Can’t always be vertical] ^ELifted ab^Dove the din their wo^Arlds a peaceful dome (Natures diet finding quiet) [They don’t hear the child say]

Chorus

^DMy feet can’t cross the parking lot ^AmThe parking lot is way too hot [The everything went vertical] x8

Outro

The par^Dking ^Amlot is w^Gay too ^Amhot [The everything went vertical] x8
