(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:
EAnd the hB#7eart is hard to tEranslate,
It has a Alanguage of it's own, E
It talks B#7in tongues and qEuiet sighs and pArayers and pEroclamations,
B#7In the grand days Eof great men and the sAmallest of geEstures,
In B#7short shallow gasps.E
Pre-Chorus:
C7But with all my education,
EI can't seem to commend it,
C7And the words are all escaping me,
EAnd coming back all damaged,
C7And I would put them back in poetry,
EIf I only knew how,
C7I can't seem to understand it,E
Chorus:
And I would give Call this and Amheaven too,
I would Fgive it all if only for a Dmoment,
That I Amcould just underCstand the meaning of the Amword you see,
'Cause I've been Fscrawling it forever,
But it Dnever makes Amsense to me at all. E
Verse 2:
And it B#7talks to me in tipEtoes,
And Asings to me inside,E
It B#7cries out in the darkest Enight,
And Abreaks in morning C7light.
Pre-Chorus:
But with all my eduEcation,
I can't seem to commend it,
C7And the words are all Eescaping,
And coming back all damaged,
C7And I would put them back in Epoetry,
If I only knew hoC7w,
I can't seem to underEstand it,
Chorus:
And I would give Call this and Amheaven too,
I would Fgive it all if only for a Dmoment,
That I Amcould just underCstand the meaning of the Amword you see,
'Cause I've been Fscrawling it forever,
But it Dnever makes Amsense to me at all.
Bridge:
CMmm... AmMmm...
CMmm... DMmm...
(play C, Am, C, D once more over "oh"s)
Chorus:
And I would give Call this and Amheaven too,
I would Fgive it all if only for a Dmoment,
That I Amcould just underCstand the meaning of the Amword you see,
'Cause I've been Fscrawling it forever,
But it Dnever makes Amsense 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! :)
