Chords

[Verse 1]
E         C#m                E     
  And the heart is hard to translate

          A                  E
It has a language of its own

      C#m               E
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs

     A                 E
And prayers and proclamations

        C#m             E
In the grand deeds of great men

         A          E
In the smallest of gestures

C#m                E      A
In short, shallow gasps
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                    Em         
  But with all my education

                          F
I can't seem to command it

                        G
And the words are all escaping

                        Dm
And coming back all damaged

                             Em
And I would put them back in poetry

                 F
If I only knew how

                      G
I can't seem to understand it
[Chorus]
                 C             Am                     
And I would give all this and heaven too

         F                        Dm                 
I would give it all if only for a moment

        G               C                        Am                             
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see

                   F               
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever 

       Dm           G               E
But it never makes sense to me at all
[Verse 2]
        C#m                  E
And it talks to me, it tip-toes

        A                 E
And it sings to me inside

        C#m                E
It cries out in the darkest night

     A                     Dm
And breaks in the morning light
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                  Em
But with all my education

                         F
I can't seem to command it

                          G
And the words are all escaping

                        Dm
And coming back all damaged

                              Em
And I would put them back in poetry

                 F
If I only knew how

                       G
I can't seem to understand it
[Chorus]
                 C             Am                     
And I would give all this and heaven too

         F                        Dm                 
I would give it all if only for a moment

        G                C                       Am                            
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see

                   F               
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever 

        Dm          G            Cmaj7
But it never makes sense to me at all
[Bridge]
C   Am
Mmmmmm, ooh-ooh

C               Dm
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

C         Am
Oh, oh-oh-oh

       C           Dm    G
Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
                  C            Am
And I would give all this and heaven too

         F                         Dm
I would give it all if only for a moment

        G                C                       Am                    
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see

                    F                
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever 

       Dm            G            C                               
But it never makes sense to me at all
[Outro]
C Am    F
No words

         Dm          G                   C
Poor language, it doesn't deserve such treatment

            Am                        F
And all my stumbling phrases never amounted

              Dm    G     C
To anything worth this feeling

             Am
All this and Heaven

 F                           Dm           G
Never could describe such a feeling as I feel and

C                   Am
Words were never so useful

           F                                 
So I was screaming out a language that I

Dm           G            C
Never knew existed before
