C7C7 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 MajorE    B#7B#7       E MajorE
And the heart is hard to translate,
     A augmentedA           E MajorE
It has a language of it's own,
     B#7B#7       E MajorE        A augmentedA      E MajorE
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs and prayers and proclamations,
B#7B#7        E MajorE           A augmentedA      E MajorE
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures,
  B#7B#7         E MajorE
In short shallow gasps.

Pre-Chorus:
C7C7
But with all my education,
E MajorE
I can't seem to commend it,
C7C7
And the words are all escaping me,
E MajorE
And coming back all damaged,
C7C7
And I would put them back in poetry,
E MajorE
If I only knew how,
C7C7              E MajorE
I can't seem to understand it,

Chorus:
         C majorC      A minorAm
And I would give all this and heaven too,
    FF             D MajorD
I would give it all if only for a moment,
    A minorAm       C majorC            A minorAm
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
         FF
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
    D MajorD      A minorAm         E MajorE
But it never makes sense to me at all.

Verse 2:
    B#7B#7        E MajorE
And it talks to me in tiptoes,
  A augmentedA         E MajorE
And sings to me inside,
  B#7B#7           E MajorE
It cries out in the darkest night,
  A augmentedA         C7C7
And breaks in morning light.

Pre-Chorus:
          E MajorE
But with all my education,

I can't seem to commend it,
C7C7          E MajorE
And the words are all escaping,

And coming back all damaged,
C7C7              E MajorE
And I would put them back in poetry,
         C7C7
If I only knew how,
           E MajorE
I can't seem to understand it,

Chorus:
         C majorC      A minorAm
And I would give all this and heaven too,
    FF             D MajorD
I would give it all if only for a moment,
    A minorAm       C majorC            A minorAm
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
         FF
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
    D MajorD      A minorAm
But it never makes sense to me at all.


Bridge:
C majorC   A minorAm
Mmm... Mmm...
C majorC   D MajorD
Mmm... Mmm...

(play C, Am, C, D MajorD once more over "oh"s)

Chorus:
         C majorC      A minorAm
And I would give all this and heaven too,
    FF             D MajorD
I would give it all if only for a moment,
    A minorAm       C majorC            A minorAm
That I could just understand the meaning of the word you see,
         FF
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever,
    D MajorD      A minorAm
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.
