Mercy Street

Am 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. Am Let's take the boat out, (Wait until darkness). Let's take the boat out, (Wait until darkness comes). 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. 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... Am7, F (3x), Am 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. 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... Am7, F (3x) Am Am Mercy...Mercy... Looking for mercy. Am G Mercy... Am G Looking for mercy... Am F Looking for mercy... Am Looking for mercy... Am Anne with her father, Am7 Is out in the boat, F Riding the water, Dm7 Am Riding the waves on the sea.
