Intro:  G

            G           C            G                   D
And we have fun — we go laughing and running down to the water,
             C             G                       Em
There by the sea where the body just floats like a rowboat
        C                          D
And the moon's like a harbor light lit in the sky.


          Em                        G
 And this picture's got a woman who looks like you
       D                       C
 And a guy who looks just like someone I've seen.
         G
 When it turns out, I hope that it turns out,
                D             C            G
 I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed.

  G         C               G
Embarcadero train station's empty,
      D             C
And I just cannot believe how long it takes
G                            Em
All the way home through the city.
               C                                  D
And everyone's looking - at least, it's nice to believe that everyone's looking.


          Em                        G
 And this picture's got a woman who looks like you
       D                       C
 And a guy who looks just like someone I've seen.
         G
 When it turns out, I hope that it turns out,
                D             C            G
 I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed.

        G           C           G
Ghostly faces at my living-room window
             D                         C
They are not scared of me because they know I can't hurt them.
     G                        Em
They press up and see, in the lamp-glow,
           C                   D
all of the hurt and the love inside of me.
           Em       C    Em                C
It's their final duty to see right through me.
                    Em              D               C            D
I tell them "twelve hours until the dawn, but we've got to hold on.
                                G
Hold on to me, because we'll be running

G           C          G
Down to the water this morning."
             D                  C        G
Well, nobody waits for you to believe in ghosts,
                    Em                  D                  G
Lit by moonlight or dawning, or in this picture of you and me.
