1.  Well, I know there’s pain and suffering,
C   D   G
 you can feel the tension in the air.
C   D   Em
  But they can see the stars shine in Beijing,
A7    D7
 and hear the birds’ song in Times Square.

2.   But I know you’re feeling insecure
C   D   G
 from all this change that's come to pass.
C  D     Em
  But the sky is blue in Singapore,
Am    D7
 and they can smell the ocean in Belfast.
 
C   D     G      Em
 Now don’t get me wrong, this ain’t no happy song,
    Am     D      G
and there’s nothing you can hold onto for now.
  C   D
But when you’re feeling low, my dear,
   G    Em
just know the water’s crystal clear,
Am      D   G
  and the fish are swimming in the Venice canals.

3.  Well, I know there’s heartbreak and sorrow,
  C  D   G
 and I know there’s really nothing I can say.
C  D  Em
  But we’ll be closer tomorrow,
   A7    D7
 to the end of all this than we are today.
 
 G    C     G
4.  So watch the sunrise from your window,
C   D   G
 hear the rainfall on the ground.
C  D   Em
  Tell your loved ones that you loνe them
Am  D7
 and miss the ones that aren’t around.
 
C D7 G    Em
 Now don’t get me wrong, this ain’t no happy song,
 Am D7 G
and there’s nothing you can hold onto for now.
 C D
But when you’re feeling low, my dear,
 G   Em
just know the water’s crystal clear,
Am  D7  G
 and the fish are swimming in the Venice canals.
