_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ Looking down [C#m] on empty streets, all she can see
[A] are the dreams all made sound, are [F#m] the dreams made real.
[C#m] _ All of the buildings, _ all of the cars
[A] were once just a dream in [E] _
somebody's head.
[C#m] She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam,
[A] she pictures a song.
[F#m] _
Slowly cut [C#m] the seams, take the boat out,
wait until darkness, let's take the boat out,
wait until darkness comes. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey,
[A] nowhere in the suburbs [F#m] in the cold light of day.
_ [C#m] There in the midst of it, so alive and whole,
[A] _ words of fort [B] life go.
_ [C#m] Dreaming of _ [A] Percy [B] _
Street,
_ [C#m] where you're [E] inside [A]
out,
dreaming [E] of mercy [A] _ _
_ [C#m] in your daddy's arms [B] again.
[E] _ _ _ [A] Percy _ [B] _
Street,
_ [C#m] swear they know that [A] sign,
dreaming [E] of mercy _ [A] _ _
[B] _ [C#m] in your daddy's arms. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Pulling out the _ drawers that slide,
_ [A] tugging at the darkness, [F#m] word upon word,
[C#m] and fencing all those secret things in the worn velvet box.
[A] To the priest, he's the doctor, [F#m] he can handle the shock.
[C#m] Dreaming of the tenderness that tremble in the hips,
[A] of kissing [B] Mary's lips.
Dreaming [C#m] of [A] Percy _ [B] Street,
_ _ [C#m] where you're inside [A] out,
dreaming [E] of mercy _ [A] _ _
[Bm] in [C#m] your daddy's arms [B] again.
Dreaming [C#m] of Percy _ [B] Street,
_ _ [C#m] swear they move [A] that sign,
[E] looking for mercy _ [A] in [E] _ [C#m] your daddy's arms. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _

_ _ [C#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ Percy [F#] _ _ _
Street,
[C#m] for mercy, _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
for [C#m] mercy,
_ _ _ _ [E] _
for [C#m] mercy,
_ [E] for mercy. _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [C#m] And _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ with the father, he's out in the boat,
[A] _ riding the _ [F#m] _
_ _ waves on the [C#m] sea. _
