Give me back my name

C#m (x13321@4)                  Dm (xx0231@1)                                            
There's a word for it

And words don't mean a thing
C#m (x13321@4)                   DmThere's (xx0231@1)name for it

And names make all the difference in the world
GmSome (355333@1)things can never be spoken
D#Some (x43121@3)things cannot be pronounced
G (320003@1)                          AThat (x02220@1)word does not exist in any language
D (xx0232@1)                                  FIt (133211@1)will never be uttered by a human mouth

C#mLet (x13321@4)X make a statement
DmLet (xx0231@1)breath pass through those cracked lips
C#mThat (x13321@4)man was my hero
DmAnd (xx0231@1)now that word has been taken from us
