When The Body Speaks

Depeche Mode


Tom: G

 G               D                 C
To the soul's desires, the body listens
 G                D                           C
What the flesh requires, keeps the heart imprisoned
 G                D                   C
What the spirit seeks the mind will follow
 G               D                   C
When the body speaks, all else is hollow


[Verse 1]
 G            D
I'm just an angel
  C                           Bm
Driving blindly through this world
 G           D
I'm just a slave here
 C                 Bm
At the mercy of a girl


[Refrain]
CMaj7              Bm
Oh, I need your tenderness
CMaj7            Bm
Oh, I need your touch
CMaj7           Bm
Oh, I dream of one caress
Am     C         G
Oh, I pray too much


[Chorus]
G                D                 C
To the soul's desires, the body listens
 G                D                         C
What the flesh requires, keeps the heart imprisoned
 G                D                   C
What the spirit seeks the mind will follow
 G              D                    C
When the body speaks, all else is hollow


[Verse 2]
G             D
You keep me waiting
 C                       Bm
For the promise that is mine
  G            D
Please stop debating
  C                       Bm
Please stop wasting your time


[Refrain]
CMaj7              Bm
Oh, I need your tenderness
CMaj7             Bm
Oh, I need your touch
CMaj7                Bm
Oh, I dream of one caress
Am      C        G
Oh, I pray too much
