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