Chord transcription by Mikayel Abazyan mikayelabazyan@yahoo.com
Bbm
These are almost the words
I intended to say,
this so nearly makes sense.
F#6
Although the cut's too close for comfort
G# Bbm
language goes eventually astray.
Bbm
There goes the neighbourhood
under the flood
F#
and comprehension.s culled and clustered
G# Bbm
round the sudden onrush of hot blood.
Gm# A# D#
And in imprecision
Bbm
we are all lost for words.
Bbm
All lost, alas, alack,
all points alarm,
F#
sounding out the sweet sargasso
G# Bbm
sea of language we are all becalmed.
Bbm
So close, almost the words
F#
but nearly isn't clear and drains our
G# Bbm
understanding of the overheard.
Gm# A# D#
In incomprehension
Bbm
we are all lost for words, x2
F# F#4 Dm#
all at last lost,
Bbm
we are all lost for words.
Dm# Bbm Dm# Bbm
At last you come round to believe what you heard
Dm# Bbm Bbm
as circumstance found you lost for words.
Dm# Bbm Dm# Bbm
The secret's unspoken, the sense is absurd,
Dm# Bbm Bbm
the safety net's broken, lost for words.
Jazz improvisation in Bbm.
