Intro: Guitar Solo.. then  Am G Em F G. x2

 

Am                                    G                             Em                                      F         G
Dig if you will the            picture.                  Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me        Can you my darling Can you picture this?

 

Dream if you can a courtyard,     An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses,    They feel the heat The heat between me and you

 

How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father too bold


Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry

 

Break: Am G Em F G   (x4)

 

Touch if you will my stomach            Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up Don't make me chase you Even doves have pride

 

How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding. Maybe I'm just like my father too bold


Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry

 

Break: Am G Em F G   (x4)

 

How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father too bold


Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry

 

Instrumental: Broken down: Am G Em F G

Em
This is what it sounds like
F     G
When doves cry
