🎸 Verse:
A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
Dig if you will the picture
D/F#D/F#            FF E MajorE
Of you and I engaged in a kiss

A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
The sweat of your body covers me
D/F#D/F#
Can you my darling
FF    E MajorE
Can you picture this?

A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
Dream if you can a courtyard
D/F#D/F#            FF E MajorE
An ocean of violets in bloom

A minorAm        Am/GAm/G
Animals strike curious poses
D/F#D/F#
They feel the heat
  FF       E MajorE
The heat between me and you

A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
Touch if you will my stomach
D/F#D/F#           FF E MajorE
Feel how it trembles inside

A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
You've got the butterflies all tied up
D/F#D/F#
Don't make me chase you
FF    E MajorE
Even doves have pride

A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
How can you just leave me standing?
D/F#D/F#         FF E MajorE
Alone in a world so cold

A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
Maybe I'm just too demanding
D/F#D/F#          FF   E MajorE
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold

A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
Maybe you're just like my mother
D/F#D/F#         FF E MajorE
She's never satisfied

A minorAm             Am/GAm/G
(Never satisfied)...with each other
D/F#D/F#
This is what it sounds like
FF   E MajorE
When doves cry

A minorAm  Am/GAm/G

    D/F#D/F#    FF  E MajorE
Don't cry
   A minorAm
Don't cry

Am/GAm/G

  D/F#D/F#     FF       E MajorE
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
   A minorAm    Am/GAm/G
Don't cry,
    D/F#D/F#
Don’t cry

FF  E MajorE

    A minorAm  Am/GAm/G  D/F#D/F#
