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.
Bridge 1:
Am
 Let's take the boat out,

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.

 Where you're in-side out.

Dreaming of mercy,

In your daddy's arms a-gain.

Dreaming of Mer-cy Street,

 Swear they moved that sign.

In your daddy's arms...

 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.

In your daddy's arms...
