Dbm                            E/Db
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
        Gbm/A                          Gbm
Are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams made real
Dbm                   E/Db
All of the buildings, all of the cars
     Gbm/A                E/Db
Were once just a dream in somebody's head
    Dbm                        E/Db
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam
    A                    A/Gb
She pictures a soul with no leak at the seam

Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness)
Dbm
Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness comes)

[verse]
A                  B
Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey

Nowhere in the suburbs, in the cold light of day

There in the midst of it so alive and alone

Words support like bone

Chorus:
-------

            E/Db A  B       Dbm         Abm/B A9
Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, wear your inside  out
            E     A B         Dbm          B
Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms again
            E/Db A  B       Dbm              Abm/B A9
Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, swear they moved that  sign
            E     A B         Dbm
Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms

Solo:
-----

E/Db A  [repeat twice]

Dbm


[verse]
   A              B
Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth

Tugging at the darkness, word upon word

Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box

To the priest-he's the doctor, he can handle the shocks

Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips

Of kissing Mary's lips

[chorus]

Dreaming of Mercy Street, wear your inside out

Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again

Dreaming of Mercy Street, swear they moved that sign

Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms

[solo]
Dbm
Mercy, mercy looking for mercy
Dbm    B              Db     B
Mercy,    looking for mercy
            Dbm    A
Looking for mercy
            Dbm
Looking for mercy...

End:

Dbm                     E/Db
Anne with her father is out in the boat
Gbm/A
Riding the water,
Gbm
Riding the waves
       Dbm
On the sea
