[Intro] Am G Am x2 [Verse]
Am                   G                                 Am
Dig if you will the picture, Of you and I engaged in a kiss

Am                       G      
The sweat of your body covers me

G                                    Am
Can you my darling, Can you picture this?

Am                 G 
Dig if you will a courtyard

G                       Am
An ocean of violets so blue

Am              G 
Animals strike curious poses

G                                            Am
They feel the heat, the heat between me and you
[Chorus]
Am                           G 
How can you just leave me standing? 

G                    Am
Alone in a world so cold ?

Am                    G
Maybe I’m just too demanding

G                       Am
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold

Am                      G 
Maybe I’m just like my mother

G            Am
She’s never satisfied

Am                         G
Why must we scream at each other

G                                           F
This is what it sounds like ,  When doves cry
[Verse]
Am                    G   
Touch if you will my belly

G                     Am
Feel how it trembles inside

Am                           G
You’ ve got the butterflies all tied up

G    
Don’t make me chase you

                 Am
Even doves have pride
[Chorus]
Am                         G
How can you just leave me standing? 

G                    Am
Alone in a world so cold?

Am                    G
Maybe I’m just too demanding

G                                 
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold

Am                      G
Maybe I'm just like my mother

G                 Am
She’s never satisfied

Am                         G 
Why must we scream at each other

G                                         F
This is what it sounds like When doves cry
[Bridge] Am G Am x2
Am                G
Dream if you can a courtyard

G                      Am
An ocean of violets so blue

Am               G
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
      E
The heat between me and you
[Chorus]
Am                           Dm
How can you just leave me standing?

Alone in a world that’s so cold? (Alone in a world so)

Am                    G

Am                         G
Why must we scream at each other (scream at each other)

G                                          E
This is what it sounds like (Oh baby, the doves are crying)
