🎶 All This And Heaven Too

[D]And the [C]heart is hard to [D]translate
It has a [Bbm]language of its [D]own
It [C]talks in tongues and [D]quiet sighs
And [Bbm]prayers and [D]proclamations
In the [C]grand deeds of [D]great men
In the [Bbm]smallest of [D]gestures
[C]In short, shallow [D] [Bbm]gasps

[Eb]But with all my [D#]education
I can’t seem to command [Em]it
And the words are all [Db]escaping
And coming back all [Eb]damaged
And I would put them back in [D#]poetry
If I only knew [Em]how
I can’t seem to [Db]understand it

And I would give [A#]all this and [Bb]heaven too
I would [Em]give it all if only for a [Eb]moment
That I [Db]could just [A#]understand the meaning of the [Bb]word you see
‘Cause I’ve been [Em]scrawling it forever
But it [Eb]never makes [Db]sense to me at [D]all

And it [C]talks to me, it [D]tip-toes
And it [Bbm]sings to me [D]inside
It cries [C]out in the darkest [D]night
And [Bbm]breaks in the morning [Eb]light

[Eb]But with all my [D#]education
I can’t seem to command [Em]it
And the words are all [Db]escaping
And coming back all [Eb]damaged
And I would put them back in [D#]poetry
If I only knew [Em]how
I can’t seem to [Db]understand it

And I would give [A#]all this and [Bb]heaven too
I would [Em]give it all if only for a [Eb]moment
That I [Db]could just [A#]understand the meaning of the [Bb]word you see
‘Cause I’ve been [Em]scrawling it forever [A#]
But it [Eb]never makes [Db]sense to me at [Cmaj7]all

[A#] [Bb]Mmmmmm, ooh-ooh
[A#]Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh [Eb]Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[A#]Oh, [Bb]oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, [A#]Oh-oh-oh-oh [Eb] [Db]Oh-oh-oh-oh

And I would give [A#]all this and [Bb]heaven too
I would [Em]give it all if only for a [Eb]moment
That I [Db]could just [A#]understand the meaning of the [Bb]word you see
‘Cause I’ve been [Em]scrawling it forever
But it [Eb]never makes [Db]sense to me at [A#]all

[A#]No [Bb] [Em]words
Poor [Eb]language, it [Db]doesn’t deserve such [A#]treatment
And all my [Bb]stumbling phrases never [Em]amounted
To anything [Eb]worth [Db]this [A#]feeling
All this and [Bb]Heaven
[Em]Never could describe such a [Eb]feeling as I [Db]feel and
[A#]Words were never so [Bb]useful
So I was [Em]screaming out a language that I
[Eb]Never knew [Db]existed [A#]before⠀
