[Verse 1] (play either the main riff or)
C G
I tried taking a picture of you
G C
But when I look in, nothing comes through
C G
Sometimes I wonder if you're just a ghost
G C
And I wonder what's haunting you most
C G
I tried describing you to all my friends
G C
But they just told me to polish my lens
C G
You're sweet, generous, my sweetheart
G C
I don't even know where to start
[Chorus]
Em F G
Even Da Vinci couldn't paint you
C C/B Am
And Steven Hawking can't explain you
Dm G
Rosetta Stone could not translate you
C C/B
I'm at a loss for words
Em
I'm at a loss for words
F G
I couldn't put it in a novel
C C/B Am
I wrote a page but it was awful
Dm G
Now I just want to sing your gospel
C
I'm at a loss for words
C/B
I'm at a loss for words
[Verse 2]
C G G C
C G
I looked you up on Ancestry dot com
G C
There was no record of dad or of mom
C G
It's like you fell straight out of the sky
G C
And left the scholars to figure out why
C G
I like to think that I know quite a lot
G C
But with you it feels like I forgot
C G
I wish that I could explain who you are
G C
But when I try to I never get far
[Chorus]
Em F G
Even Da Vinci couldn't paint you
C C/B Am
And Steven Hawking can't explain you
Dm G
Rosetta Stone could not translate you
C C/B
I'm at a loss for words
Em
I'm at a loss for words
F G
I couldn't put it in a novel
C C/B Am
I wrote a page but it was awful
Dm G
Now I just want to sing your gospel
C
I'm at a loss for words
C/B
I'm at a loss for words
[Bridge]
C G Dm Am F G C x2
C G
We've come so far
Dm Am
Now here we are
F G C
We made it through the night
C G
I know we will
Dm Am
Be strong, cause still
F G C
Everything will be alright
[Chorus]
Em F G
Even Da Vinci couldn't paint you
C C/B Am
And Steven Hawking can't explain you
Dm G
Rosetta Stone could not translate you
C C/B
I'm at a loss for words
Em
I'm at a loss for words
F G
I couldn't put it in a novel
C C/B Am
I wrote a page but it was awful

Now I just want to sing your gospel
