Intro
G Am D G
G Am D G
[Verse 1]
G Am
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 Am
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 Am
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
Am
But like a rose placed in a flower pot
D G
E 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
B7
I hoped my loneliness found peace
Em Em/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 Am
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
Am
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 Am D G
You'll always be the moon in the water
G Am D G
You'll always be the moon in the water
G Am D G
You'll always be the moon in the water
G Am D C
