[Intro]
G C/G G C/G
[Verse 1]
G C/G G C/G
I went looking for answers that couldn't be found
G C/G G C/G
Set an uneasy pace on that uneven ground
C G C/G G C/G
Between the downtrodden and the blood of my blood
D C G C/G G C/G
Why do I keep waiting on the dove?
[Verse 2]
G C/G G C/G
Between the rubbish and the rubble there's no place to hide
G C/G G C/G
Trust and trouble can't walk side by side
C G C/G G C/G
Why is it the latter that seems to fit like a glove?
D C G C/G G C/G
Why do I keep waiting on the dove?
[Verse 3]
G C/G G C/G
Oh so many people looking out for their own
G C/G G C/G
With tear gas and plate glass, with slings and with stones
C G C/G G C/G
When there's no room to breathe it's hard not to shove
D C G C/G G C/G
Why do I keep waiting on the dove?
[Verse 4]
G C/G G C/G
Yeah I'm clinging to something too tight to drop it
G C/G G C/G
These tears keep coming, nothing seems to stop it
C G C/G G C/G
And every drop just adds a little more to the flood
D C G C/G G C/G
Why do I keep waiting on the dove?

[Verse 5]
G C/G G C/G
Headlines read "land mines and houses ripped down"
G C/G G C/G
I put names to the faces in these crumbling towns
C G C/G G C/G
I see sorrow so deep, but there's laugher and love
D C G C/G G C/G
Why do I keep waiting on the dove?
[Verse 6]
G C/G G C/G
I see people caught on both sides of a wall
G C/G G C/G
Must one side rise and the other side fall?
C G C/G G C/G
Can there only be peace when one side is silenced in blood?
D C G C/G G C/G
Why do I keep waiting on the dove?
[Verse 7]
G C/G G G/C
I'm flying home with the leaf clutched in my hand
G C/G G C/G
On either side there's no sign of dry land
C G C/G G C/G
The water keeps rising and there's nothing but darkness above
D C G
Why to I keep waiting?
D C G
Why do I keep waiting?
D C G G C/G G C/G G C/G G
Why do we keep waiting on the dove?
C/G can be replaced with Gsus4 and still have the same effect.
