All This And Heaven Too

• E

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            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
