G C G C/G G
Well, I know there’s pain and suffering

You can feel the tension in the air

And they can smell the ocean in Belfast
Chorus:

Now don’t get me wrong

And there’s nothing you can hold onto for now

And the fish are swimming in the Venice canals

to the end of all this than we are today

Hear the rainfall on the ground

Tell your loved ones that you loνe them

And miss the ones that aren’t around
