Start Jamming...
[F#] Sing to me baby in your native tongue
Sing the words of the wise and the young
[A] Show me the place where your words come [E] from
Love's the [F] language, love's your [F#m] native tongue
Feel your heartbeat bang the drum
Open up your eyes and feel your lungs
[A] The same words from where the stars are flown
[E] Love's the [Fm] language, love's your [F#] native tongue
My heart is a beating drum
My head in
[D] oblivion
My soul's such a long [B] way from
My lips, [C#] my lungs, my [F#] native tongue
My breath, where did we go wrong?
My love, we forgot [E] our song
My soul's [C#] such a long way from
My lips, my lungs, [F#] my native tongue
[B] Sing it to me, whisper into my [A]
[F#] ear
[F] The cues of this voice are starting to disappear
[A] In [B] the wind, in the tongues of the [Em] flame
[B] In my soul, [C#] in my one true name
[F#m] Back before we learned the words to start a fight
Back before they told us that the haters were [G#m] right
[A] You spoke the truth, let there be and there [E] was
Love's the [C#] language, love's your [F#m] native tongue
[F#] My heart is a beating drum
My head in
[D] oblivion
My soul's such a long [B] way from
My lips, [C#] my lungs, my [F#] native tongue
My breath, where did we go wrong?
My love, we forgot [E] our song
My soul's [C#] such a long way from
My lips, my lungs, my [F#m] native tongue
So sing it out, get it loud, [C#m] yeah
Louder than the voices in the crowd, [Bm] yeah
Even when the charge has drowned you out, yeah
Your lips, [C#] your lungs, your native [F#m] tongue
So sing it out, get it loud, [E] yeah
Louder than the [C#m] darkness and the doubts, [D] yeah
Louder than the curses [Bm] and the stars, [D] yeah
Your lips, [C#] your lungs, your native [F#m] tongue
[F#]
My heart is a beating [A] drum
My head in
[D] oblivion
My soul's such a long [B] way from
My lips, [C#] my lungs, my [E]
[F#] native tongue
My breath, where did we [A] go wrong?
My love, we forgot [E] our song
My soul's such a long [C#] way from
My lips, my lungs, my [F#m] native tongue
[E]
[F#] [F#m]
I want the world to sing [A] in a native tongue
To sing it [Bm] like we were young
[D] Back before the pendulum [C#] had swung to the [F#m] shadows
I want the world to sing [A] in a native tongue
Maybe we could [D] learn to sing along
Find a way to use our lungs for [C#] love and not for [F#m] shadows
I want the world to sing in a [A] native tongue
To sing it [D] like we were young
Back before the pendulum [C#] had swung to the shadows
[F#m] I want the world to sing in a [A] native tongue
Maybe we could [D] learn to sing along
Find a way to use our lungs for [C#] love and not for shadows
[F#]
