[Verse 1]

G      C                     G
Well I know there's pain and suffering
C                D/F#           G
You can feel the tension in the air
C                   D/F#           Em
But they can see the stars shine in Beijing
Am7                        D7
And hear the birdsong in Times Square

G      C                   G
Well I know you're feeling insecure
C             D/F#                  G
From all this change that's come to pass
C              D/F#        Em
But the sky is blue in Singapore
Am7                                D7
And they can smell the ocean in Belfast


[Chorus]
C            D7
Don't get me wrong
     G        F#m   Em
This ain't no happy song
            Am7             D7            G
And there's nothing you can hold onto for now
C                       D7
But when you're feeling low, my dear
     G        F#m     Em
Just know the water's crystal clear
        Am7               D7              G
And the fish are swimming in the Venice Canals


[Instrumental]


[Verse 2]
G      C                           G
Well I know there's heartbreak and sorrow
C                         D/F#          G
And I know there's really nothing I can say
C        D/F#     Em
We'll be closer tomorrow
Am7
To the end of all this
            D7
Than we are today

G            C                G
So watch the sunset from your window
C        D/F#            G
Hear the rainfall on the ground
C         D/F#                Em
Tell your loved ones that you love them
Am7                             D7
And miss the ones that aren't around


[Chorus]
C            D7
Don't get me wrong
     G        F#m   Em
This ain't no happy song
            Am7             D7            G
And there's nothing much to hold onto for now
C                       D7
But when you're feeling low, my dear
     G        F#m     Em
Just know the water's crystal clear
        Am7               D7              G
And the fish are swimming in the Venice Canals
