(modified from sbigelow@dante.nmsu.edu's original tab) *CAPO 4th FRET* (Original Key: C#m) 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.
