[Printable version]

[Verse 1]
F#m
Sing to me, baby, in your native tongue

Sing the words of the wise and the young
D
Show me the place where your words come from
E
Love's the language, love’s your native tongue

[Verse 2]
F#m
Feel your heartbeat bang the drum
C#
Open up your eyes and fill your lungs
A
The same word from where the stars are flung
E
Love's the language, love's your native tongue

[Chorus]
F#m
My heart is a beating drum

My head in oblivion
D                           B
My soul such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
F#m
My friend, where did we go wrong?
A
My Lord, we forgot our song
E                           C#
My soul such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native tongue)

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native tongue)

[Verse 3]
F#m
Sing it to me, whisper into my ear

Accuser’s voices start to disappear
A
In the wind, in the tongues of the flame
E
In my soul, in my one true name, oh

[Verse 4]
F#m
Back before we learned the words to start a fight

Back before they told us that the haters were right
A
He spoke the truth, "Let there be" and there was
E
Love's the language, love's your native tongue

My heart is a beating drum

My head in oblivion

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native tongue)

So sing it out, get loud, get
E
Louder than the voices in the crowd, yeah
B
Even when they try to drown you out, eh
D               C#
Your lips, your lungs, your native tongue

[Outro]
F#m        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue
                     B
To sing it like when we were young
                A            C#
Back before the pendulum had swung to the shadows
F#m        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue
                        B
Maybe we could learn to sing along
                 A                 C#
To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows
F#m        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue
                     B
To sing it like when we were young
                A            C#
Back before the pendulum had swung to the shadows
F#m        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue
                        B
Maybe we could learn to sing along
                 A                 C#                      F#m
To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows
