[Intro Riff] x4
[F] [Am] [G]
[Am]Dig if you will the [Dm/A]picture
Of [G]you and I engaged in a [E7+5/G#]kiss[E7/G#]
The [Am]sweat of your body [Dm/A]covers me
[G]Can you my darling
[E7+5/G#]Can you [E7/G#]picture this?
[Am]Dream if you can a [Dm/A]courtyard
An [G]ocean of violets in [E7+5/G#]bloom[E7/G#]
[Am]Animals strike [Dm/A]curious poses
[G]They feel the heat
The [E7+5/G#]heat between [E7/G#]me and [Am]you
[Am]How can you just leave me [Dm/A]standing?
[G]Alone in a world that's so [E7+5/G#]cold? [E7/G#](So cold)
[Am]Maybe I'm just too [Dm/A]demanding
[G]Maybe I'm just like my [E7+5/G#]father [E7/G#]too bold
[Am]Maybe you're just like my [Dm/A]mother
[G]She's never [E7+5/G#]satisfied [E7/G#](She's never satisfied)
[Am]Why do we scream at each [Dm/A]other
[G]This is what it sounds like
[E7+5/G#]When doves[E7/G#] cry
Riff 4x
[F] [Am] [G]
[Am]Touch if you will my [Dm/A]stomach
[G]Feel how it trembles [E7+5/G#]inside[E7/G#]
[Am]You've got the butterflies[Dm/A] all tied up
[G]Don't make me chase you
[E7+5/G#]Even doves[E7/G#] have pride
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe maybe)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (too bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
