[Intro]

Am G Em F G

[1st Verse]

Am                    G

Dig if you will the picture

    Em                     F  G

Of you and I engaged in a kiss

Am                       G

The sweat of your body covers me

Em

Can you my darling

 F         G

Can you picture this?

 

Am                    G

Dream if you can a courtyard

    Em                   F  G

An ocean of violets in bloom

Am                G

Animals strike curious poses

Em

They feel the heat

     F           G

The heat between me and you

 

[Chorus]

Am                           G

How can you just leave me standing?

Em                          F   G

Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)

Am                    G

Maybe I'm just too demanding

Em                       F     G

Maybe I'm just like my father too bold

Am                          G

Maybe you're just like my mother

Em              F    G

She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Am                        G

Why do we scream at each other

Em

This is what it sounds like

 F     G

When doves cry

 

[Break]

Am G Em F G 2x

 

[Verse 2]

Am                      G

Touch if you will my stomach

Em                     F   G

Feel how it trembles inside

Am                    G

You've got the butterflies all tied up

Em

Don't make me chase you

F     G

Even doves have pride

 

[Chorus]

Am                           G

How can you just leave me standing?

Em                          F   G

Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)

Am                    G

Maybe I'm just too demanding

Em                       F     G

Maybe I'm just like my father too bold

Am                          G

Maybe you're just like my mother

Em              F    G

She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Am                        G

Why do we scream at each other

Em

This is what it sounds like

 F     G

When doves cry

 

[Chorus]

Am                           G

How can you just leave me standing?

Em                          F   G

Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)

Am                    G

Maybe I'm just too demanding

Em                       F     G

Maybe I'm just like my father too bold

Am                          G

Maybe you're just like my mother

Em              F    G

She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Am                        G

Why do we scream at each other
