Dawes – Moon In The Water (Guitar)

 C                Dm
When the wind is with me

     G              C
But somehow out of sight

                  F
Not knowing where it comes from

             C
Or where it goes

   C                  Dm
That's the way your memory

              G          C
Shapes the middle of my night

                       F
Since the last time I saw you

                     C
And the words you chose

               G
When I said, "This must be what love is

        F            C
Like I saw it in a dream"

      F
You looked into my eyes and said,

       G
"You Don't know what you mean

        F                 G
Cause love is for the fisherman who cast

      C              F
His nets too far upstream

   F              G          C
Fishing for the moon in the water

      C                   Dm
So I act now as if I've forgot

      G             C
My efforts all in vain

                           F
I spent some time with a new girl

                                C
Who made the simple world seem fine

                               Dm
But like a rose placed in a flower pot

    G               C
A true nature contained

                       F
Not knowing what she asks for

                 C
Or what she'll find

                          G
When she says, "If I've ever had love in my

            F             C
Life then surely this is it"

             F
I said, "Anyone who talks like that doesn't

    G
Understand one bit

       F               G               C
That love is for the fighter born to lose

            F
But never quit

    F              G           C
Swinging for the moon in the water"

       F
So I left her with her dreams where I

   C
Thought that she belonged

                F                                C
Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew

                E7
I hoped my loneliness found peace

              Am             Am/G
I hoped my number had been drawn

              F
When all I wanted from her was to

              G
Remind me of you

       C                 Dm
So I stay out in the streets

            G           C
Hoping to find you anywhere

                F
Now that I understand

                       C
The woman you need to be

                       Dm
I can feel you in the heat

        G               C
I can taste you in the air

                       F
And I can't help but find your face in

              C
Everything I see

      G
And once I can admit you're gone I'll

  F             C
Place it on a star

      F
And wait for the day I'm what you need

     G
And then reach out for your heart

                F                 G
Cause even if love is more my mistress

           C          F
Than my lovers ever are

        F             G            C    Dm    G    C
You'll always be the moon in the water

        C             Dm             G       C
You'll always be the moon in the water

        C             Dm             G       C
You'll always be the moon in the water
