[E]
[C#m]
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
[A] are the dreams all made so, [F#m] are the dreams made real
[C#m] All of the buildings, all of the cars
[A] were once just a dream in [E]
somebody's head
She [C#m] pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam
[A] She pictures a soul, [F#m] with no leave at the [C#m] seams
Let's take the boat out, wait until darkness
Let's take the boat out, wait until darkness comes
Nowhere in the corridors, the pale green and grey
[A] Nowhere in the suburbs, [F#m] in the cold light of day
[C#m] There in the midst of it, so alive and alone
[A] Words support [B] life gone
Dreaming [F#] of [A] Mercy [B] Street
[C#m] Where you're [E] [A] inside out
Dreaming [E] of mercy
[A] In [C#m] your daddy's arms [B] again
Dreaming [E] of [A] Mercy [B] Street
[C#m] Swear they bloom [A] that sign
Dreaming [E] of mercy
[A] In [B] [C#m] your daddy's arms
[A]
[C#m] [A]
[C#m] [A]
[C#m] Pulling out the drawers that slide
[A] Looking at the darkness, [F#m] word on word
[C#m] Confessing all the secret things in a warm melted box
[A] To the priest, he's the doctor, he [F#m] can handle the shocks
[C#m] Dreaming of the tenderness that tremble in the hips
[A] Of kissing [B] Mary's lips
Dreaming [C#m] of [A] Mercy [B] Street
Where [C#m] you're inside [A] out
Dreaming [E] of mercy
[A]
[B] In [C#m] your daddy's arms [B] again
Dreaming [C#m] of Mercy [B] Street
[C#m] Swear they bloom [A] that sign

He's out in the boat
[A] Riding the water

Riding the waves
On the sea
