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

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
[F#m]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

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

My head in oblivion
[D]My soul such a long way from[B]
My lips, my lungs, my na[C#]tive tongue
[F#m]My friend, where did we go wrong?
[A]My Lord, we forgot our song
[E]My soul such a long way from[C#]

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
[F#m]Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native tongue)

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

[BRIDGE]
[F#m]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]Your lips, your [C#]lungs, your native tongue
[F#m]So sing it out, get loud, get
[E]Louder than the darkness and the doubts, eh
[B]Louder than the curses and the shouts, yeah
[D]Your lips, your [E]lungs, your native tongue
[F#m]Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh

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

My head in oblivion
[D]My soul such a long way from[B]
My lips, my lungs, my na[C#]tive tongue
[F#m]My friend, where did we go wrong?
[A]My Lord, we forgot our song
[E]My soul such a long way from[C#]

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
[F#m]Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native tongue)

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

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