Bahamas is Canadian musician Afie Jurvanen (born April 28, 1981, in Toronto).
Jurvanen isn’t from the Bahamas; he’s a Finnish-Canadian raised in Barrie (a working class town in rural Ontario). Since 2009 he’s been making music under the name Bahamas--writing songs about sunsets, love affairs, and making out with crooked smiles. Through simple arrangements, he charts an escape route from the snow belt to the coral reefs. His album, Barchords, was released in 2012 to critical praise:

[Chorus] F I'm looking for any place D7 To drink too much and make mistakes GmBbm I'm thinkin' 'bout those good old days F I'm looking for anyplace F I had the chance to make you mine D7 I had the chance and changed my mind GmBbm If I could just go back in time F I wouldn't go anyplace
[Verse 1] FA7 Well I know how hard it can be DmF To live inside of memories BbEb To hate the person that you see F When you see yourself FA7 And to think that you have moved on DmF From all the love that's done you wrong BbEb Comes back to you before too long GmC To show itself Ohh Oooh
[Chorus] F I'm looking for any place D7 To drink too much and make mistakes GmBbm I'm thinkin' 'bout those good old days F I'm looking for anyplace F I had the chance to make you mine D7 I had the chance and changed my mind GmBbm If I could just go back in time F I wouldn't go anyplace
[Solo] FD7GmBbmF
[Verse 2] FA7 Well you lead me here by the hand DmF With the promise of a promised land BbEb Now my master has no master plan F To see us all through FA7 As they say the show must go on DmF Can't keep my public waiting long BbEb Can't live my life inside a song GmC Cause every song ends Ohh Oooh
[Chorus] F I'm looking for any place D7 To drink too much and make mistakes GmBbm I'm thinkin' 'bout those good old days F I'm looking for anyplace F I had the chance to make you mine D7 I had the chance and changed my mind GmBbm If I could just go back in time F I wouldn't go anyplace
