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