[Verse]
A                       C#
Never read much but she loved to quote
Bm             D     E
Love is a dead language
A                      C#
All she offered in her parting note
Bm             D    E
Love is a dead language
  F#m                    E
I close my eyes and it's all I hear
   F#m                  B
It rings as hollow as a high school cheer
Bm                C#m  D
Who did you plagiarize this time, dear?

[Chorus]
A         E    A
Love is a dead language

[Verse]
A            C#
Outside is a twilight snow
Bm             D     E
Love is a dead language
A                      C#
Sounds romantic, but I doubt you'd know
Bm             D    E
Love is a dead language
F#m                     E
One soft bullet and the rest is blurred
  F#m                 B
I claw the sky like a falling bird
       Bm              C#m    D
You've done your duty, you've spread the word

[Chorus]
A    E  A         E    A
        Love is a dead language
A    E  A         E       F#m
        Love is a dead language

[Verse]
A                       C#
Never felt anything she couldn't touch
Bm             D  E
Love is a dead language
A                        C#
Never came close cuz she knew too much
Bm             D   E
Love is a dead language
F#m                          E
So here's to us all who were born too late
    F#m                        B
And here's to the promise of a life alone
       Bm              C#m   D
You've blessed us with such comforting note
A
Love is a dead language
