The boat's steaming in
      D                   Am7
Oh, I watch the sidewheel spin
      C               D                C            G   D
And I think about her when I hear that whistle blow
G
I can't change my mind

[Cmaj7]    [B7]    [Em7]    [Em7] 
(repeat)
 
[Verse 1]
[Cmaj7]    I see the  [B7] crystal raindrops  [Em7] fall
And the  [Dm7] beauty  [G7] of it  [Cmaj7] all  
Is when the  [B7] sun comes shining  [Em7] through        

[Cmaj7]    To make those  [B7] rainbows in my  [Em7] mind
When I  [Dm7] think of  [G7] you some [Cmaj7] time 
And I wanna  [B7] spend some time with  [Em7] you
 
[Chorus]
Just the  [Cmaj7] two of us,  [B7]    we can  [Em7] make 
it  [Ebm7] if we  [Dm7] try
[G7] Just the  [Cmaj7] two of us  [B7]    (just the  [Em7] two 
of us)
Just the  [Cmaj7] two of us,  [B7]    building 
[Em7] castles  [Ebm7] in the  [Dm7] sky
[G7] Just the  [Cmaj7] two of us,  [B7]    you and  [Em7] I  
 
[Verse 2]
[Cmaj7]    We look for  [B7] love, no time for 
[Em7] tears
Wasted  [Dm7] water's  [G7] all that  [Cmaj7] is   
And it don't  [B7] make no flowers  [Em7] grow
 
[Cmaj7]    Good things might  [B7] come to those 
who  [Em7] wait
But not for  [Dm7] those who  [G7] wait too  [Cmaj7] late 
We gotta  [B7] go for all we  [Em7] know
  
[Chorus]
Just the  [Cmaj7] two of us,  [B7]    we can  [Em7] make 
it  [Ebm7] if we  [Dm7] try
[G7] Just the  [Cmaj7] two of us  [B7]    (just the  [Em7] two 
of us)
Just the  [Cmaj7] two of us,  [B7]    building them
  [Em7] castles  [Ebm7] in the  [Dm7] sky
[G7] Just the  [Cmaj7] two of us,  [B7]    you and  [Em7] I
