   D                    Bm
If I was the last poet left on Earth
         G                D
Known by all as a man of words
                      Bm
If was the last poet heard by all
            G                    D
They would watch as the silence roars

        A        Bm  Em  A
Got my hands up, oh
        A       Bm  Em  A
Gotta stand up, oh

Chorus:
         D  Bm  A     D    G
But for you I  can't find words
         D  Bm  A     D    G
But for you I  can't find words
D   Bm   A   D    G
Oooooooooooooooohhhhh
D   Bm   A   D    G
Oooooooooooooooohhhhh

With a broken feather and unused ink
Going crazy trying to translate what I think
When we see something so beautiful
A monastery of light and soul
Stand taller than the high cathedral walls

Got my hands up, oh
Gotta stand up, oh

Chorus:
         D  Bm  A     D    G
But for you I  can't find words
         D  Bm  A     D    G
But for you I  can't find words
         D  Bm  A     D    G
But for you I  can't find words
            D   Bm   A   D   G
'Cause for you there are no words

D    Bm     A    D           G
Last poet, last man in this century
                     D      Bm
To lay down with no sympathy
    A                D             G
To put words where they shouldn't be

Last poet, last man in this century
To lay down with no sympathy
To put words where they shouldn't be

           D         Bm A D
No, they shouldn't be
       G               D Bm A
They shouldn't be there
       D       G
They shouldn't be there
