ALL THIS AND HEAVEN TOO
EAnd the C#mheart is hard to traEnslate
It has a lAanguage of its own
EIt talks in toC#mngues of quiet sEighs
And pArayers and proclaEmations
In the gC#mrand days of grEeat men
In the sAmallest of gEestures
C#mIn short, shallow gEasps A
DmBut with all my education
EmI can’t seem to command it
FAnd the words are all escaping
GAnd coming back all damaged
DmAnd I would put them back in poetry
EmIf I only knew how
FI can’t seem to underGstand it
And I would give Call this and hAmeaven too
I would gFive it all if only for a Dmmoment
That I cGould just undersCtand the meaning of the wAmord, you see
‘Cause I’ve beeFn scrawling it forever
But it Dmnever makes sGense to me at alEl
And it tC#malks to me, it tip-toEes
And it sAinks to the inside
EIt cries C#mout in the darkest Enight
And bAreaks in the morning light
DmBut with all my education
EmI can’t seem to command it
FAnd the words are all escaping
GAnd coming back all damaged
DmAnd I would put them back in poetry
EmIf I only knew how
FI can’t seem to undeGrstand it
And I would give Call this and hAmeaven too
I would gFive it all if only for a Dmmoment
That I cGould just understCand the meaning of the wAmord, you see
‘Cause I’ve beeFn scrawling it forever
But it nDmever makes sGense to me atCmaj7 all
