View chords used in this chart
C# Fm
You came in riding on a white dove’s wing
F# D# G#
Wrapped in its beauty, you never felt a thing
C# Fm
No wanting, needing cause you always had
F# G# C#
You think that nothing means nothing’s ever bad
 
[Refrão]C# Bbm
Here’s to the children and flowers who pay by the hours
F# G#
And never have to win
C# Bbm
Because when there is no choosing, there is no losing
F# G# C#
And everyone plays in the wind
 
You say you are feeling things you don’t understand
And tears are falling in the palms of your hand
Your little white dove now is crying too
So happy you feel love and I feel love for you
 
Chorus +
And everyone plays in the wind, and everyone plays in the wind
