Lo[Bm]oking down on empty streets,[(Bm7)] all she can see,
Are the d[Em/G]reams all made solid, are the d[Em7]reams made real,
[Bm]All of the buildings,[(Bm7)] all of the cars,
Were [Em/G]once just a dream in som[Em7]ebody's head,
She pi[Bm]ctures the broken glass, p[(Bm7)]ictures the steam,
She p[Em/G]ictures a soul with [Em7]no leak at the s[Bm]eams!
T[Bm]ake the boat out! (Wait until darkness!)
L[Bm]et's take the boat out! (Wait until dark - [Bm/A]ness co[Bm]mes!)
No[Bm]where in the corridors of [(Bm7)]pale green and grey,
No[Em/G]where in the suburbs, in the c[Em7]old light of day,
T[Bm]here in the midst of it, so a - [(Bm7)]live and alone,
Wo[G]rds support like b[A]one!
Dre[A]aming of [Bm]Mer - [G]cy St[A]reet, w[Bm]ear your in - [Bm/A]side o[G]ut,
Dreaming of me[D]rcy...[G] [G/B] [A/C#] in your d[Bm]addy's arms a - g[A]ain,
[Bm] [G] [G/B] [A] [Bm] [Bm/A] [G]
Dreaming of Mer - cy----- Street, swear they moved that sign,
Dreaming of me[D]rcy... [G] [G/B] [A/C#] in your d[Bm]addy's arms!

Pu[Bm]lling out the papers from the d[(Bm7)]rawers that slide smooth,
T[Em/G]ugging at the darkness, [Em7]word upon word,
Con - fes[Bm]sing all the secrets things, in the [(Bm7)]warm velvet box,
To the [Em/G]priest, he's the doctor, he can h[Em7]andle the shocks,
Dre[Bm]aming of the tenderness, the t[(Bm7)]remble in the hips,
Of kis[G]sing Mary's l[A]ips!
Dre[A]aming of [Bm]Mer - [G]cy St[A]reet, w[Bm]ear your in - [Bm/A]side o[G]ut,
Dreaming of me[D]rcy...[G] [G/B] [A/C#] in your d[Bm]addy's arms a - g[A]ain,
[Bm] [G] [G/B] [A] [Bm] [Bm/A] [G]
Dreaming of Mer - cy----- Street, swear they moved that sign,
Looking for me[D]rcy... [G] [G/B] [A/C#] in your d[Bm]addy's arms!
