Intro: G, A 

Bm                      A 
   200 fates entwined inside the plane 
A                                 G 
   We watched as England dropped away from us again 
A                             Bm 
   I wasn't waiting, I wasn't sure what I would find 
A           F#m                           G 
   I was prepared to let it happen on its own this time 
A  Bm                       A                  F#m               G 
      I had a feeling I was floating into time     spent amongst friends 
A                    Bm                      A       Em 
   Reintroduced from other strange and wonderful weekends 
       F#m                           G 
As the seat belt signs announced the fall 
     A                            Bm 
I realised I'd been falling for a while 
          A                     Em      F#m        
We'd been falling for some time    into Montreal 

G, Bm, F, Cmaj7 (2x) 

      G                                    Bm  
I saw ice upon the river as the plane came in to land 
        F                                  Cmaj7 
I heard Joni Mitchell singin' her poems of isolation 
    G                                       Bm 
The man at immigration said his friends all knew the band 
  F                                                Cmaj7 
Bizarre to come so far to an outstretched hand and easy conversation 
        G                                           Bm 
We were welcomed through arrivals without the usual transatlantic fuss 
    F                                                   Cmaj7 
And greeted by the fans who led us to the chilly street onto the bus 

    Cm             Ab           Eb                    Bb/D 
The snow had hung around on the corners of the vacant lots 
    Cm                 Ab            Eb             Bb/D 
And France was singing in the air of hi-rise North America 

A                                     F#m 
And as we made our way into the hotel hall 
    G                                              Dmaj7 
The man behind the desk broke a knowing smile, and said 
'Hello sir, welcome back to Montreal.' 

A, F#m, G, Dmaj7 

        Em              D/F#         G               A 
We hid away for the day      in our identical rooms 
        Em            D/F#                   G                 A 
Like we usually do - another new bed, upside down in our heads 
    Em            D/F#        G              A  
And afternoon was morning and night was afternoon 
         Em         D/F#                G             A 
Only the jet-lagged      know the way I sleep tonight
