B#7 is played: 446654 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. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/f/florence-and-the-machine/298569.html ] 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. End on C That is all! :) |
