Speaking a Dead Language - Joy Williams
C G Am F
We built a tall, tall tower
C G Am F
Towards the sun, towards the sun
C G Am F
Took some words and built a wall
C G Am F
And called it love, called it love
Dm Am G Dm Am
Somewhere in all the talking, the meaning faded out
C G Am
Oh, I wonder when did it all stop making sense?
C G Am F
I don't understand
C G Am
I remember, we were so sure, so innocent
C G Am
Oh, but that was then
C G Am
Can we ever go back again?
C G Am F
Can we ever go back?
You're speaking a dead, dead language
You don't sound like yourself
I hope it's just lost in translation
So why don't you show, don't try to tell
Brick by brick, we started crumbling
Will I find you when it falls?
Oh, I wonder when did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember, we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
D Bm G D Em A
Can we ever go back?
B Em Bm
Don't hold your breath
G D
Look around
Em A B Em
Try to add it up, pin it down
C C G F
But you can't
Oh, I wonder when did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember, we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back again?
C G Am
Can we ever go back?
