E5       C#5                 E5
And the heart is hard to translate
          A5
It has a language of its own
E5             C#5             E5
It talks in tongues of quiet sighs
     A5                E5
And prayers and proclamations
        C#5            E5
In the grand days of great men
        A5           E5
In the smallest of gestures
C#5                E5      A5
In short, shallow gasps

D5
But with all my education
E5
I can?t seem to command it
F5
And the words are all escaping
G5
And coming back all damaged
D5
And I would put them back in poetry
E5
If I only knew how
F5                      G5
I can?t seem to understand it

                 C5             A5
And I would give all this and heaven too
         F5                        D5
I would give it all if only for a moment
        G5               C5                        A5
That I could just understand the meaning of the word, you see
                   F5
?Cause I?ve been scrawling it forever
       D5           G5               E5
But it never makes sense to me at all

        C#5                  E5
And it talks to me, it tip-toes
        A5
And it sinks to the inside

E5        C#5                E5
It cries out in the darkest night
     A5
And breaks in the morning light

D5
But with all my education
E5
I can?t seem to command it
F5
And the words are all escaping
G5
And coming back all damaged
D5
And I would put them back in poetry
E5
If I only knew how
F5                     G5
I can?t seem to understand it

                 C5             A5
And I would give all this and heaven too
         F5                        D5
I would give it all if only for a moment
        G5                C5                       A5
That I could just understand the meaning of the word, you see
                   F5
?Cause I?ve been scrawling it forever
        D5          G5            C5
But it never makes sense to me at all

C5   A5
Mmmmmm , ooh-ooh
C5               D5
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C5         A5
Oh, oh-oh-oh
       C5           D5    G5
Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh

                  C5            A5
And I would give all this and heaven too
         F5                         D5
I would give it all if only for a moment
        G5                C5                       A5
That I could just understand the meaning of the word, you see
                    F5
?Cause I?ve been scrawling it forever
       D5            G5
But it never makes sense to me at all

C5 A5    F5
No words
         D5        G5                   C5
Our language doesn?t deserve such treatment
            A5                       F5
And all my stumbling phrases never amounted
               D5      G5
To anything worth this feeling
C5            A5
All this and Heaven
 F5                           D5           G5
Never could describe such a feeling as I feel it

C5                   A5
Words were never so useful
           F5
So I was screaming out a language that I
D5           G5            C5
Never knew existed before
