HOW TO EXPLAIN
Capo V
E (trumpet solo)
G F (E)
When a room becomes an altar
And what beast that must exist
It flies with muDm6sic from our lips
And steals a kiFss and blows it
Dm6Out into the misEt
Where castles stand on cliffs
And cobbled streets they wind and drift
And mDm6oods are made and set but shift
This pFlace where skies are low
Dm6And birds areE big
We went to sleep in day
And woke again the same day
We have leDm6arned to cheat the time
And find the hoFurs
That the cDm6locks cannot defEine
As I looked up from that stage
I felt the thing that had been mDm6ade
And how it raged
And how it rFaged
How to exDmplain?
Something makes me howl
And shivG7er to the core
Ah outsiAmde if it was raining
Then insiFde there'd be a Gstorm
We've got a paAmir of hands for climbing
And a pair of Fknees to spring G
And a paAmir of balls for strength
And a pair of lFungs to sing G
And theseAm simple chords
F (F) G
That say: music is the language of us all
Am E Am (x4) E...
G F To write these soEngs is to be written
Ah the chorus always knows
What is in stoDm6re
And what is more the thing that sinFgs us
Is Dm6the thing that makes us roaEr
I felt that beast 'kisso my neck
We clapped our hands
And heard them sFpread
There was a trumpet and Dm6a call
A pFack of Spaniards screamed for moEre
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Am E Am (x12) E...
I find it Dmhard to speak emotional
Cos these tG7hings are the things that
Can't be sCaid
And when it's struck it strikes
The memoFry from our hGeads
OAmnce I wrote to play's
To be imFmortal for a nGight
And dAmespite the unknown hours
Something haFppens
When the lGight turns out the lCights
Then we fade and yawAmn
To musFic that's the language of us Gall
