Am                             Am7 
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see, 
        Dm/F                           Dm7 
Are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams made real, 
Am                    Am7 
All of the buildings, all of the cars, 
     Dm/F                 Dm7 
Were once just a dream in somebody's head, 
    Am                         Am7 
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam, 
    Dm/F                 Dm7            Am 
She pictures a soul with no leak at the seams

Take the boat out! (Wait until darkness)

Am                          Am7 
Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey, 
Dm/F                           Dm7 
Nowhere in the suburbs, in the cold light of day, 
Am                               Am7 
There in the midst of it, so a - live and alone, 
F             F/C  G 
Words support like bone

Am                              Am7 
Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth, 
Dm/F                     Dm7 
Tugging at the darkness, word upon word, 
      Am                                    Am7 
Con - fessing all the secret things, in the warm velvet box, 
       Dm/F                            Dm7 
To the priest, he's the doctor, he can handle the shocks, 
Am                              Am7 
Dreaming of the tenderness, the tremble in the hips, 
   F             F/C  G 
Of kissing Mar - y's  lips

Anne, with her father, is out in the boat, 
Dm/F              Dm7                               Am 
Riding the water, riding the waves...  on the sea
