Intro

C# D#m G# C#
[Verse 1]
C# D#m
When the wind is with me
G# C#
But somehow out of sight
F#
Not knowing where it comes from
C#
Or where it goes
C# D#m
That's the way your memory
G# C#
Shapes the middle of my night
F#
Since the last time I saw you
C#
And the words you chose
[Chorus 1]
G#
When I said, "This must be what love is
F# C#
Like I saw it in a dream"
F#
You looked into my eyes and said,
G#
"You Don't know what you mean
F# G#
Cause love is for the fisherman who cast
C# F#
His nets too far upstream
F# G# C#
Fishing for the moon in the water
[Verse 2]
C# D#m
So I act now as if I've forgot
G# C#
My efforts all in vain
F#
I spent some time with a new girl
C#
Who made the simple world seem fine
D#m
But like a rose placed in a flower pot
G# C#
A# true nature contained
F#
Not knowing what she asks for
C#
Or what she'll find
[Chorus 2]
G#
When she says, "If I've ever had love in my
F# C#
Life then surely this is it"
F#
I said, "Anyone who talks like that doesn't
G#
Understand one bit
F# G# C#
That love is for the fighter born to lose
F#
But never quit
F# G# C#
Swinging for the moon in the water"
[Bridge]
F#
So I left her with her dreams where I
C#
Thought that she belonged
F# C#
Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew
F7
I hoped my loneliness found peace
A#m A#m/G#
I hoped my number had been drawn
F#
When all I wanted from her was to
G#
Remind me of you
[Verse 3]
C# D#m
So I stay out in the streets
G# C#
Hoping to find you anywhere
F#
Now that I understand
C#
The woman you need to be
D#m
I can feel you in the heat
G# C#
I can taste you in the air
F#
And I can't help but find your face in
C#
Everything I see
[Chorus 3]
G#
And once I can admit you're gone I'll
F# C#
Place it on a star
F#
And wait for the day I'm what you need
G#
And then reach out for your heart
F# G#
Cause even if love is more my mistress
C# F#
Than my lovers ever are
F# G# C# D#m G# C#
You'll always be the moon in the water
C# D#m G# C#
You'll always be the moon in the water
C# D#m G# C#
You'll always be the moon in the water
C# D#m G# C
