Switchfoot – Native Tongue chords

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

Sing the words of the wise and the young
DShow me the place where your words come from
ELove's the language, love’s your native tongue

[Verse 2]
F#mFeel your heartbeat bang the drum
C#Open up your eyes and fill your lungs
AThe same word from where the stars are flung
ELove's the language, love's your native tongue

[Chorus]
F#mMy heart is a beating drum

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

F#mMy friend, where did we go wrong?
AMy Lord, we forgot our Psalm
E                           C#My soul such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
F#mOh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native tongue)

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

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

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

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

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

My head in oblivion
