Verse 1:
G                      Cm
Just for you with your open hands
F               G     D  G
Waiting for the touch of man
( G )                 Cm 
Clutching with your blackened gloves
F                  G   D   G
You try to capture all the doves
     G    D G
That flee into 
    Cm       G
The forest before you

Verse 2:

You wish to catch and cage me now

I wonder if you remember how

Hard it was to say the names

Of mirror dreams and cheated games

And on the wall 

You framed your first lover

Verse 3:

Your form intrigues me with the glow

I'll remember you I know

Though I forgot to lock the chain

Around you with a prayer for rain

To bring the call 

To drive you back into my bed


D
Ahhh....

She turns away

Telling me to follow for a while

Ahhh....

She waits


Cm                  D
You'd be touched if you would touch
Cm           D
But you only reach and taunt
G                  Cm
Will my taste stay grey and blue
F           G    D    G
If I try to turn from you
