C7 is played: 557765
(For the record I'm not 100% sure these are seventh chords, but I needed a way to
distinguish them from the regular ones.)
Verse 1:
E B#7 E
And the heart is hard to translate,
A E
It has a language of it's own,
B#7 E A E
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs and prayers and proclamations,
B#7 E A E
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures,
B#7 E
In short shallow gasps.
Pre-Chorus:
C7
But with all my education,
E
I can't seem to commend it,
C7
And the words are all escaping me,
E
And coming back all damaged,
C7
And I would put them back in poetry,
E
If I only knew how,
C7 E
I can't seem to understand it,
Chorus:
C Am
And I would give all this and heaven too,
F D
I would give it all if only for a moment,
Am C Am
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
F
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
D Am E
But it never makes sense to me at all.
Verse 2:
B#7 E
And it talks to me in tiptoes,
A E
And sings to me inside,
B#7 E
It cries out in the darkest night,
A C7
And breaks in morning light.
Pre-Chorus:
E
But with all my education,
I can't seem to commend it,
C7 E
And the words are all escaping,
And coming back all damaged,
C7 E
And I would put them back in poetry,
C7
If I only knew how,
E
I can't seem to understand it,
Chorus:
C Am
And I would give all this and heaven too,
F D
I would give it all if only for a moment,
Am C Am
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
F
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
D Am
But it never makes sense to me at all.
Bridge:
C Am
Mmm... Mmm...
C D
Mmm... Mmm...
(play C, Am, C, D once more over "oh"s)
Chorus:
C Am
And I would give all this and heaven too,
F D
I would give it all if only for a moment,
Am C Am
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
F
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
D Am
But it never makes sense to me at all.
Outro(Same chord progression as chorus):
No, words are a language,
It doesn't deserve such treatment,
And all my stumbling phrases,
Never amounted to anything worth this feeling,
All this heaven,
Never could describe such a feeling as I'm having,
Words were never so useful,
So I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before.
End on C
That is all! :)
