Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “All This and Heaven Too” dari Florence + Machine.
[Verse 1]
E C#m E
And the heart is hard to translate
A E
It has a language of its own
C#m E
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs
A E
And prayers and proclamations
C#m E
In the grand deeds of great men
A E
In the smallest of gestures
C#m E A
In short, shallow gasps
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Em
But with all my education
F
I can’t seem to command it
G
And the words are all escaping
Dm
And coming back all damaged
Em
And I would put them back in poetry
F
If I only knew how
G
I can’t seem to understand it
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
C#m E
And it talks to me, it tip-toes
A E
And it sings to me inside
C#m E
It cries out in the darkest night
A Dm
And breaks in the morning light
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Em
But with all my education
F
I can’t seem to command it
G
And the words are all escaping
Dm
And coming back all damaged
Em
And I would put them back in poetry
F
If I only knew how
G
I can’t seem to understand it
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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 C
But it never makes sense to me at all
[Outro]
C Am F
No words
Dm G C
Poor language, it doesn’t deserve such treatment
Am F
And all my stumbling phrases never amounted
Dm G C
To anything worth this feeling
Am
All this and Heaven
F Dm G
Never could describe such a feeling as I feel and
C Am
Words were never so useful
F
So I was screaming out a language that I
Dm G C
Never knew existed before
