[C#m]
[B] [C#m]
[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] slowly cut [C#m] the seams
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 apart
[A] Words support [B] life's goal
[C#m] Dreaming of [A]
Mercy [B] Street
[C#m] When you're [E] inside [A] out
[E] Dreaming of mercy
[A] In [B] your [C#m] daddy's arms [B] again
[E] Dreaming [C#m] of [A]
Mercy [B] Street
[C#m] Sweat, they bloom, that [A] sign
[E] Dreaming of mercy
[A] In [B] [C#m] your daddy's arms
Pulling [A] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
out the papers, drawers with slides
[A] Looking at the darkness, [F#m] word on word
[C#m] Confessing all the secret things in a warm velvet box
To [A] the priest, he's the doctor, he [F#m] can handle the shocks
[C#m] Dreaming of the tenderness, the tremble and the hits
[A] Of kissing [B] Mary's lips
Dreaming [C#m] of [A] Mercy [B] Street
[C#m] When you're inside [A] out
[E] Dreaming of mercy
[A] In [Bm] [C#m] your daddy's arms [B] again
Dreaming [E] of [F#m] Mercy [B] Street
[C#m] Sweat, they bloom, that [A] sign
[E] Looking for mercy
[A] In [E] [C#m] your daddy's arms

I'm with the father, he's out in the boat
[A] Riding the [F#m] waves on the [C#m] sea
