Intro

G# A#m D# G#
[Verse 1]
G# A#m
When the wind is with me
D# G#
But somehow out of sight
C#
Not knowing where it comes from
G#
Or where it goes
G# A#m
That's the way your memory
D# G#
Shapes the middle of my night
C#
Since the last time I saw you
G#
And the words you chose
[Chorus 1]
D#
When I said, "This must be what love is
C# G#
Like I saw it in a dream"
C#
You looked into my eyes and said,
D#
"You Don't know what you mean
C# D#
Cause love is for the fisherman who cast
G# C#
His nets too far upstream
C# D# G#
Fishing for the moon in the water
[Verse 2]
G# A#m
So I act now as if I've forgot
D# G#
My efforts all in vain
C#
I spent some time with a new girl
G#
Who made the simple world seem fine
A#m
But like a rose placed in a flower pot
D# G#
F true nature contained
C#
Not knowing what she asks for
G#
Or what she'll find
[Chorus 2]
D#
When she says, "If I've ever had love in my
C# G#
Life then surely this is it"
C#
I said, "Anyone who talks like that doesn't
D#
Understand one bit
C# D# G#
That love is for the fighter born to lose
C#
But never quit
C# D# G#
Swinging for the moon in the water"
[Bridge]
C#
So I left her with her dreams where I
G#
Thought that she belonged
C# G#
Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew
C7
I hoped my loneliness found peace
Fm Fm/D#
I hoped my number had been drawn
C#
When all I wanted from her was to
D#
Remind me of you
[Verse 3]
G# A#m
So I stay out in the streets
D# G#
Hoping to find you anywhere
C#
Now that I understand
G#
The woman you need to be
A#m
I can feel you in the heat
D# G#
I can taste you in the air
C#
And I can't help but find your face in
G#
Everything I see
[Chorus 3]
D#
And once I can admit you're gone I'll
C# G#
Place it on a star
C#
And wait for the day I'm what you need
D#
And then reach out for your heart
C# D#
Cause even if love is more my mistress
G# C#
Than my lovers ever are
C# D# G# A#m D# G#
You'll always be the moon in the water
G# A#m D# G#
You'll always be the moon in the water
G# A#m D# G#
You'll always be the moon in the water
G# A#m D# C
