All This And Heaven Too

Key: D

Introduction:

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
                                             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                              C7+  
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
