Verse 1
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
Pre-Chorus
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
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
And it sinks to the inside
E        C#m                E
It cries out in the darkest night
     A
And breaks in the morning light
Pre-Chorus
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
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

I would give it all if only for a moment

‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever 
       Dm            G                                            
But it never makes sense to me at all

Outro
         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
