Verse 1
(F sharp minor) Sing to me, baby, in your native tongue
Sing the words of the wise and the young
(A major) Show me the place
where your words come from
(E major) Love is the language,
love is your native tongue
(F sharp minor) Feel your heartbeat bang the drum
Open up your eyes and fill your lungs
(A major) The same word from
where the stars are flung
(E major) Love is the language,
Chorus 1
love is your native tongue
(F sharp minor) My heart is a beating drum
My head in oblivion
(D major) My soul, such a long way from
(B minor) My lips, my (C sharp minor) lungs, my native tongue
(F sharp minor) My friend, where did we go wrong?
My Lord, we forgot our sound
(E major) My soul, such a long way from
(C sharp major) My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
(F sharp minor) (Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh) My native tongue

Verse 2
(Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh) My native tongue
(F sharp minor) Sing it to me, whisper into my ear
Accuser's voices start to disappear
(A major) In the wind, in the tongues of the flame
(E major) In my soul, in my one true name, oh
(F sharp minor) Back before we learned
the words to start a fight
Back before they told us
that the haters were right
(A major) He spoke the truth,
"let there be" and there was
(E major) Love is the language,
love is your native tongue (F sharp minor)

Outro 1
(F sharp minor) I want the world to sing
in her (A major) native tongue
To sing it like when (B major) we were young
Back before the (D major) pendulum
had swung (C sharp major) to the shadows
(F sharp minor) I want the world to sing in her (A major) native tongue
Maybe we could learn to (B major) sing along
To find a way to (D major) use our lungs
for love (C sharp major) and not the shadows
(F sharp minor) I want the world to sing in her (A major) native tongue
To sing it like when (B major) we were young
Back before the (D major) pendulum
had swung (C sharp major) to the shadows
(F sharp minor) I want the world to sing in her (A major) native tongue
Maybe we could learn to (B major) sing along
To find a way to (D major) use our lungs
for love (C sharp major) and not the shadows
