[Verse 1]
D Em
When the wind is with me
A D
But somehow out of sight
G
Not knowing where it comes from
D
Or where it goes
D Em
That's the way your memory
A D
Shapes the middle of my night
G
Since the last time I saw you
D
And the words you chose
[Chorus 1]
A
When I said, "This must be what love is
G D
Like I saw it in a dream"
G
You looked into my eyes and said,
A
"You Don't know what you mean
G A
Cause love is for the fisherman who cast
D G
His nets too far upstream
G A D
Fishing for the moon in the water
[Verse 2]
D Em
So I act now as if I've forgot
A D
My efforts all in vain
G
I spent some time with a new girl
D
Who made the simple world seem fine
Em
But like a rose placed in a flower pot
A D
B true nature contained
G
Not knowing what she asks for
D
Or what she'll find
[Chorus 2]
A
When she says, "If I've ever had love in my
G D
Life then surely this is it"
G
I said, "Anyone who talks like that doesn't
A
Understand one bit
G A D
That love is for the fighter born to lose
G
But never quit
G A D
Swinging for the moon in the water"
[Bridge]
G
So I left her with her dreams where I
D
Thought that she belonged
G D
Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew
F#7
I hoped my loneliness found peace
Bm Bm/A
I hoped my number had been drawn
G
When all I wanted from her was to
A
Remind me of you
[Verse 3]
D Em
So I stay out in the streets
A D
Hoping to find you anywhere
G
Now that I understand
D
The woman you need to be
Em
I can feel you in the heat
A D
I can taste you in the air
G
And I can't help but find your face in
D
Everything I see
[Chorus 3]
A
And once I can admit you're gone I'll
G D
Place it on a star
G
And wait for the day I'm what you need
A
And then reach out for your heart
G A
Cause even if love is more my mistress
D G
Than my lovers ever are
G A D Em A D
You'll always be the moon in the water
D Em A D
You'll always be the moon in the water
D Em A D
You'll always be the moon in the water
D Em A C
