Dawes - Moon in the water 

intro:

E              F#m           B                    E

E              F#m           B                    E
When the wind is with with but somehow out of sight
 E                A                        E                        
not knowing where it comes from but where it goes
E                F#m           B                    E
that's the way your memory shapes the middle of my nights
 E               A                                E     
since the last time I saw you and the words you chose


F#m                  A                                      E
when I said this must be what love is like I saw it in a dream
        A                                           B
you looked into my eyes and said you don't know what you mean
A             B                     E                           A
cause love is for the fishermen who cast his nets too far upstream
A               B              E
fishing for the moon in the water

so I act now like as if I forgot my efforts all in vain
I spent some time with a new girl who made the simple world seem fine
but like a rose placed in a flower pott her true nature contained
not knowing what she asks for or what she'll find


but she says if I ever had love in my life then surely this is it
I said anyone who talks like that doesn't understand one bit
that love is for the fighter born to loose but never quit
swinging for the the moon in the water

A                                         E
so I left her with her dreams where I though that she belonged
A                                              E
now with my secrets which she heard but shenever knew
                            B7
i hope my loneliness finds peace
              C#m                   A                                  B
I hope my number had been drawn when all i wanted from her was to remind me of you

so I stay out in the streets hoping to find you anywhere
now that I understnad the woman you need to be
I can feel you in the heat I could taste you in the air
and I can't help but find your face in everything i see

and once I can admit you're gone I place it on a star
and wait for the day I'm what you need and then reach out for you heart
cause even if love is if more my mistress than my lovers ever are
you'll always be the moon in the water
you'll always be the moon in the water



very rough idea of the songs, it drives me nuts cause i don't get the real chord shapes
