This is the chord progression of Levitate by Twenty one pilots on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
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
Bm
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
Bm
And everyone’s asleep, mind you
Bm
Now show up, show up
Bm
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
Bm
And everyone’s asleep, mind you
Bm
Now show up, show up
Bm
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
Bm
No, no we are not just graffiti on a passing train
Bm
I got back what I once bought back
Bm
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
Bm
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
On the freezing ground that I’m sleeping on
Em
Please, keep me from; please, keep me down from the ledges
C
Better test it, wooden wedges under doorways
B
Keep your wooden wedges under doors
Em
Chorus, verse, chorus, verse

Now here comes the eight
C
Wait, habits here too
B
You’re the worst, your structure compensates
Em C
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
Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet
C B
And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe
Em
And though I feed on things that fell
C
You can learn to levitate with just a little help
B
You can levitate with just a little help

[Outro]
