Florence + The Machine – All This And Heaven Too (Ukulele)

E       C#m                 E     
And the heart is hard to translate

          A 
It has a language of its own

E             C#m             E
It talks in tongues of quiet sighs

     A                E
And prayers and proclamations

        C#m            E
In the grand days of great men

        A           E
In the smallest of gestures

C#m                E      A
In short, shallow gasps

Dm                             
But with all my education

Em
I can't seem to command it

F
And the words are all escaping

G
And coming back all damaged

Dm
And I would put them back in poetry

Em
If I only knew how

F                      G
I can't seem to understand it

                 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

        C#m                  E
And it talks to me, it tip-toes

        A
And it sinks to the inside

E        C#m                E
It cries out in the darkest night

     A
And breaks in the morning light

Dm
But with all my education

Em
I can't seem to command it

F
And the words are all escaping

G
And coming back all damaged

Dm
And I would put them back in poetry

Em
If I only knew how

F                     G
I can't seem to understand it

                 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

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

                  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                                            
But it never makes sense to me at all

C Am    F
No words

         Dm        G                   C
Our language doesn't deserve such treatment

            Am                       F
And all my stumbling phrases never amounted

               Dm      G
To anything worth this feeling

C            Am
All this and Heaven

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

C                   Am
Words were never so useful

           F                                 
So I was screaming out a language that I

Dm           G            C
Never knew existed before
