[Intro] B B/C# B/D# [Verse 1]
 B
There is no language in our lungs

                               F#
To tell the world just how we feel

No, no, no, no, no, no bridge of thought,

F#
No mental link

C#m                            F#  F#aug
No letting out just what you think
[Chorus]

Lungs, lungs, lungs
[Verse 2]
B
There is no muscle in our tongues

                                  F#
To tell the world what's in our hearts

[Instrumental break] B F# C#m F# F#sus [Bridge]
C#m
I thought I had the whole world in my mouth

C#m
I thought I could say what I wanted to say

C#m
For a second, that thought became a sword in my hand

C#m
I could slay any problem that would stand in my way

A
I felt just like a crusader

A
Lionheart, a Holy Land invader

B
But nobody can say what they really mean to say

B
And the impotency of speech came up and hit me that day

B
And I would have made this instrumental

B                         F#   F#/G#   F#/A#
But the words got in the way
[Instrumental break] F# F#/G# F#/A#
