[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

Am                           G     
How can you just leave me standing?

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

When doves cry
