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