[Intro 1]
[Synth]
[Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][G]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Looking down on empty streets,
all she can see
Are the [F]dreams all made solid
Are the [Dm]dreams all made real
[Am]All of the buildings, all of those cars
[F]Were once just a dream
In [Dm]somebody's head
She [Am]pictures the broken glass,
she pictures the steam
She [F]pictures a soul
With [Dm]no leak at the seam
[Am]Let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness
Let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness [Am]comes

[Verse 2]
[Am]Nowhere in the corridors
of pale green and grey
[F]Nowhere in the suburbs
In the [Dm]cold light of day
[Am]There in the midst of it
so alive and alone
[F]Words support like [G]bone

[Chorus 1]
Dreaming of [Am]Mer [F]cy S[G]treet
[Am]Wear your inside [F]out
Dreaming for [C]mercy[F][G]
In your [Am]daddy's arms a[G]gain
Dreaming of [Am]Mer [F]cy S[G]treet
[Am]'Swear they moved that [F]sign
Dreaming of [C]mercy[F][G]
In your [Am]daddy's arms
[Am][Am][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am][F]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Pulling out the papers
from drawers that slide smooth
[F]Tugging at the darkness, [Dm]word upon word
Con[Am]fessing all the secret things
in the warm velvet box
To the [F]priest, he's the doctor
He can [Dm]handle the shocks
[Am]Dreaming of the tenderness,
the tremble in the hips
Of [F]kissing Mary's [G]lips

[Chorus 2]
Dreaming of [Am]Mer [F]cy S[G]treet
[Am]Wear your inside [F]out
Dreaming of [C]mercy[F][G]
In your [Am]daddy's arms a[G]gain
Dreaming of [Am]Mer [F]cy S[G]treet
[Am]Swear they moved that [F]sign
Looking for [C]mercy[F][G]
In your [Am]daddy's arms
[Am][Am][Am]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am][F]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Bridge 1]
[Am]Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
[Am]Looking for mercy
[Am]Merc[G]y, looking for mercy[Am][G]
Looking for [Am]mercy[G]
Looking for [Am]mercy, [G]oh lord
[Am]Mercy, [F]looking for mer[Am]cy[Am]

[Outro 1]
[Am]Anne, with her father is out in the boat
[F]Riding the water
[Dm]Riding the waves on the [Am]sea
