Capo 1st fret.
 
[Intro]
Fmaj7   Am G  Fmaj7
Am7  Fmaj7  G  Cmaj7
Am7
 
 
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7                    G
Through the alleyways to cool off in the shadows
Cmaj7                 Am
Then into the street, following the water
F                     G
There's a bearded man paddling in his canoe
Cmaj7              Am7
Looks as if he has come all the way from the Cayman Islands
 
 
[Interlude]
Fmaj7  G   Cmaj7   Am7
 
 
[Verse 2]
Fm                     G
These canals, it seems they all go in circles
Cmaj7                    Am
Places look the same and we're the only difference
    Fm                         G
The wind is in your hair, it's covering my view
    Cmaj7                  Am7
I'm holding on to you on a bike we've hired until tomorrow
 
 
[Interlude]
Dm  G  Gbm  Dmaj7
Fmaj7  Em7   Am7
 
 
[Verse 3]
   Fmaj7                   G
If only they could see, if only they had been here
Cmaj7                     Am
They would understand how someone could have chosen
   Fmaj7                      G                          Cmaj7
To go the length I've gone to spend just one day riding, holding on to you
  Am                             Fmaj7
I never thought it would be this clear
 
 
[Outro]
Fmaj7  G  Cmaj7  Am
Fmaj7  G  Cmaj7  Am7
Fmaj7
              Through the alleyways
to cool off in the shadows,
then into the street
following the water.
There's a bearded man
paddling in his canoe,
looks as if he has
come all the way from the Cayman Islands.

These canals, it seems,
they all go in circles,
places look the same,
and we're the only difference.
The wind is in your hair,
it's covering my view.
I'm holding on to you,
on a bike we've hired until tomorrow.

If only they could see,
if only they had been here,
they would understand,
how someone could have chosen to go the length I've gone,
to spend just one day riding.
Holding on to you,
I never thought it would be this clear.
