ALL THIS AND HEAVEN TOO E C#m E And the heart is hard to translate A It has a language of its own E C#m E It talks in tongues of quiet sighs A E And prayers and proclamations C#m E In the grand days of great men A E In the smallest of gestures C#m E A In short, shallow gasps Dm But with all my education Em I can’t seem to command it F And the words are all escaping G And coming back all damaged Dm And I would put them back in poetry Em If I only knew how F G I can’t seem to understand it C Am And I would give all this and heaven too F Dm I would give it all if only for a moment G C Am That I could just understand the meaning of the word, you see F ‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever Dm G E But it never makes sense to me at all C#m E And it talks to me, it tip-toes A And it sinks to the inside E C#m E It cries out in the darkest night A And breaks in the morning light Dm But with all my education Em I can’t seem to command it F And the words are all escaping G And coming back all damaged Dm And I would put them back in poetry Em If I only knew how F G I can’t seem to understand it [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/f/florence-and-the-machine/298906.html ] C Am And I would give all this and heaven too F Dm I would give it all if only for a moment G C Am That I could just understand the meaning of the word, you see F ‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever Dm G Cmaj7 But it never makes sense to me at all C Am Mmmmmm, ooh-ooh C Dm Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh C Am Oh, oh-oh-oh C Dm G Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh C Am And I would give all this and heaven too F Dm I would give it all if only for a moment G C Am That I could just understand the meaning of the word, you see F ‘Cause I’ve been scrawling it forever Dm G But it never makes sense to me at all C Am F No words Dm G C Our language doesn’t deserve such treatment Am F And all my stumbling phrases never amounted Dm G To anything worth this feeling C Am All this and Heaven F Dm G Never could describe such a feeling as I feel it C Am Words were never so useful F So I was screaming out a language that I Dm G C Never knew existed before |
