C                    F              C F/C C
Well, I know there’s pain and suffering
F                 G              C F/C C
You can feel the tension in the air
F                      G             Am
But they can see the stars shine in Beijing
D7                                 G7
And hear the birds’ song in Times Square

Well I know you're feeling insecure
From all this change that's come to pass
But the sky is blue in Singapore
And they can smell the ocean in Belfast

Chorus:
F                  G7
Now don’t get me wrong
      C        G/B  Am
This ain’t no happy song
             Dm7             G7              C F/C C
And there’s nothing you can hold onto for now
      F                  G
But when you’re feeling low, my dear
       C       G/B     Am
Just know the water’s crystal clear
Dm7                     G7                 C F/C C
And the fish are swimming in the Venice canals

Well I know there's heartbreak and sorrow
And I know there's really nothing I can say
We'll be closer tomorrow to the end of all this
Than we are today

So watch the sunset from your window
Hear the rainfall on the ground
Tell your loved ones that you loνe them
And miss the ones that aren’t around

Chorus
