All This And Heaven Too chords by Florence + The Machine

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.
