HOW TO EXPLAIN
Capo V
E (trumpet solo)

G F (E)
When a room becomes an altar 
             
And what beast that must exist 
                Dm6 (xx0201@1)It flies with music from our lips
               FAnd (133211@1)steals a kiss and blows it 
Dm6 (xx0201@1)           EOut (022100@1)into the mist

Where castles stand on cliffs 
And cobbled streets they wind and drift 
     Dm6 (xx0201@1)
And moods are made and set but shift 
      FThis (133211@1)place where skies are low 
Dm6 (xx0201@1)        EAnd (022100@1)birds are big

We went to sleep in day

And woke again the same day 
          Dm6 (xx0201@1)We have learned to cheat the time 
               FAnd (133211@1)find the hours 
          Dm6 (xx0201@1)           EThat (022100@1)the clocks cannot define

As I looked up from that stage 
                                Dm6I (xx0201@1)felt the thing that had been made

And how it raged 
            FAnd (133211@1)how it raged

DmHow (xx0231@1)to explain? 
Something makes me howl 
        G7And (320001@1)shiver to the core 
        AmAh (x02210@1)outside if it was raining 
         F (133211@1)             GThen (320003@1)inside there'd be a storm 
              AmWe've (x02210@1)got a pair of hands for climbing 
              F (133211@1)             GAnd (320003@1)a pair of knees to spring 
        AmAnd (x02210@1)a pair of balls for strength 
               F (133211@1)             GAnd (320003@1)a pair of lungs to sing 
         AmAnd (x02210@1)these simple chords 
                 F (133211@1)      (F)           GThat (320003@1)say: music is the language of us all

Am    E  Am (x4) E...

G (320003@1)F (133211@1)               E (022100@1)                     
    To write these songs is to be written

Ah the chorus always knows 
              Dm6What (xx0201@1)is in store 
                                   FAnd (133211@1)what is more the thing that sings us 
   Dm6 (xx0201@1)                      EIs (022100@1)the thing that makes us roar

I felt that beast 'kisso my neck

We clapped our hands 
                FAnd (133211@1)heard them spread 
                        Dm6There (xx0201@1)was a trumpet and a call 
   F (133211@1)                             E (022100@1)   
A pack of Spaniards screamed for more 
Music is the language of us all 
Music is the language of us all 
Music is the language of us all 
Music is the language of us all

Am    E  Am (x12) E... 
 
          DmI (xx0231@1)find it hard to speak emotional 
           G7Cos (320001@1)these things are the things that 
          CCan't (x32010@1)be said

And when it's struck it strikes 
        F (133211@1)          GThe (320003@1)memory from our heads 
 Am (x02210@1)     
Once I wrote to play's 
        F (133211@1)           GTo (320003@1)be immortal for a night 
     AmAnd (x02210@1)despite the unknown hours 
            FSomething (133211@1)happens 
          G (320003@1)                 C (x32010@1)When the light turns out the lights 
                    AmThen (x02210@1)we fade and yawn 
      F (133211@1)                          GTo (320003@1)music that's the language of us all
