Looking down on empty streets, all she can see 
Db5                            E5 
Are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams made real 
        Gb5                          Gb5 
All of the buildings, all of the cars 
Db5                   E5 
Were once just a dream in somebody's head 
     Gb5                E5 
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam 
    Db5                        E5 
She pictures a soul with no leak at the seam 
    A5                    A5            
Bridge: 
------- 
Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness) 
Db5 
Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness comes) 
Db5 
{verse} 

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 
A5                  B5                   

 
Chorus: 
------- 
Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, wear your inside  out 
            E5 A5  B5       Db5         Ab5 A5 
Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms again 
            E5     A5 B5         Db5          B5 
Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, swear they moved that  sign 
            E5 A5  B5       Db5              Ab5 A5 
Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms 
            E5     A5 B5         Db5 
Solo: 
----- 

E5 A5  {repeat twice} 

Db5 
{verse} 

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 
   A5              B5                   
{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} 
 
Mercy, mercy looking for mercy 
Db5       
Mercy,    looking for mercy 
Db5    B5              Db5     B5 
Looking for mercy  
            Db5    A5 
Looking for mercy... 
            Db5

Anne with her father is out in the boat 
Db5                     E5 
Riding the water,  
Gb5                  
Riding the waves 
Gb5 
On the sea 
       Db5
