I need you to listen to me,
please believe me
        F#m              E
I'm completely lonely, please don't judge me
          Dmaj7
When your tears are falling,
                        F#m  E
I'll catch them as they fall

I need you to listen to me,
please don't leave me
         F#m             E
I'm not perfect yet, but I'll keep trying
          Dmaj7
When your tears are falling,
                        F#m  E
I'll catch them as they fall

         Dmaj7                        F#m   E
'Cause inside, we are really made the same (Oh)

In life, waiting's just a stupid game (Oh)

Chorus:
        Dmaj7
Lift me up, give me a start

'Cause I've been flying with some broken arms
        Dmaj7
Lift me up, just a small nudge
            F#m                E
And I'll be flying like a thousand doves

A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves

A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves
 E
Oh (Doves)

I'd do anything for you to really see me
I am human, invisibly bleeding
When your smile is shaking,
I'll catch you as you fall

I cry more than I ever say (Oh)
Each time, your love seems to save the day (Oh)

Chorus

A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves
Oh (Doves)
A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves
Oh (Doves)

Dmaj7               Bm             C#
I've been hurting, stuck inside a cage
         D  F#m               Dmaj7
So hard my heart's been in a rage
                  E        A       Bm
If you love me, then just set me free
            D           C#    D    Bm
And if you don't, then baby, leave
     D     E
Set me free

Chorus

           Dmaj7            F#m
A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves (Flying, flying)
E
Oh (Flying like a thousand doves)
           Dmaj7
A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves (Flying, flying)
F#m               E                     Dmaj7
Flying, flying, flying like a thousand doves
F#m               E                     Dmaj7
Flying, flying, flying like a thousand doves
