Bm ( Bm7 )
looking down on empty streets , all she can see ,
Em/G Em7
are the dreams all made solid , are the dreams made real ,
Bm ( Bm7 )
all of the buildings , all of the cars ,
Em/G Em7
were once just a dream in somebody’s head ,
Bm ( Bm7 )
she pictures the broken glass , pictures the steam ,
Em/G Em7 Bm
she pictures a soul with no leak at the seams!
Bm
take the boat out! ( wait until darkness! )
Bm Bm/A Bm
let’s take the boat out! ( wait until dark – ness comes! )
Bm ( Bm7 )
nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey ,
Em/G Em7
nowhere in the suburbs , in the cold light of day ,
Bm ( Bm7 )
there in the midst of it , so A – live and alone ,
G A
words support like bone!
A Bm G A Bm Bm/A G
dreaming of mer – cy street , wear your in – side out ,
D G G/B A/C# Bm A
dreaming of mercy . . . in your Daddy’s arms A – gain ,
Bm G G/B A Bm Bm/A G
dreaming of mer – cy – – – – – street , swear they moved that sign ,
D G G/B A/C# Bm
dreaming of mercy . . . in your Daddy’s arms!

Bm ( Bm7 )
pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth ,
Em/G Em7
tugging at the darkness , word upon word ,
Bm ( Bm7 )
con – fessing all the secrets things , in the warm velvet box ,
Em/G Em7
to the priest , he’s the doctor , he can handle the shocks ,
Bm ( Bm7 )
dreaming of the tenderness , the tremble in the hips ,
G A
of kissing mary’s lips!
