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