[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Looking down on empty streets,
Am7
All she can see,
F
Are the dreams all made solid,
Dm7
Are the dreams made real.
Am
All of the buildings,
Am7
All of the cars.
F
Were once just a dream,
Dm7
In somebody's head.
Am
She pictures the broken glass,
Am7
Pictures the steam.
F
She pictures a soul,
Dm7 (Am)
With no leak at the seam.
[Bridge 1]
Am
Let's take the boat out,
(Wait until darkness).
Let's take the boat out,
(Wait until darkness comes).
[Verse 2]
Am
Nowhere in the corridors,
Am7
Of pale green and grey.
F
Nowhere in the suburbs,
Dm7
In the cold light of day.
Am
There in the midst of it,
Am7
So a-live and alone.
F G
Words support like bone.
[Chorus 1]
C F G
Dreaming of Mer-cy Street,
Am Em F
Where you're in-side out.
C F G
Dreaming of mercy,
Am G
In your daddy's arms a-gain.
C F G
Dreaming of Mer-cy Street,
Am Em F
Swear they moved that sign.
C F G
Dreaming of mercy,
Am
In your daddy's arms...
[Interlude]
Am7 F (x3) Am
[Verse 3]
Am
Pulling out the papers,
Am7
From the drawers that slide smooth.
F
Tugging at the darkness,
Dm7
Word upon word.
Am
Con-fessing all the secret things,
Am7
In the warm velvet box,
F
To the priest; he's the doctor,
Dm7
He can handle the shocks.
Am
Dreaming of the tenderness,
Am7
The tremble in the hips;
F G
Of kissing Mary's lips.
[Chorus 2]
C F G
Mer-cy Street,
Am Em F
Where you're in-side out.
C F G
Dreaming of mercy,
Am G
In your daddy's arms a-gain.
C F G
Dreaming of Mer-cy Street,
Am Em F
Swear they moved that sign.
C F G
Dreaming of mercy,
Am
In your daddy's arms...
[Interlude]
Am7 F (x3) Am
[Break]
Am
Mercy...Mercy...
Looking for mercy.
Am G
Mercy...
Am G
Looking for mercy...
Am F
Looking for mercy...
Am
Looking for mercy...
[Coda]
Am
Anne with her father,
Am7
Is out in the boat,
F
Riding the water,
Dm7 Am
Riding the waves on the sea.
