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