Berlin

	  		
Intro: C Dm (x2) 

verse 1 
C                              Dm 
The cold wind made your cheeks glow 
                          C 
Shivering away under your coat 
                          F 
Berlin was all covered in snow 
                                C 
All I could offer was a hand to hold 

C                                Dm 
So we made our way to the memorial 
                               C 
You traced your hand along the wall 
                          F 
When they put on the video 
                 Am         C     F 
I felt your hand tighten in mine 

verse 2 
C                                Dm 
Oh to be lost in an Alzheimer's fog 
                                     C 
Like the grandfather I lost before I lost 
                             F 
Raise the root but spare the tree 
                      C 
And cut you out of my memory 

                              Dm 
Leave my world just black and white 
                          C 
Snatch the sun out of the sky 
                          F 
For the only colour in my life 
              Am    C      F 
Is the memory of you and I 


verse 3 
C                          Dm 
Oh for every crime that I commit 
                             C 
Is there not a punishment to fit 
                        F 
I'm sorry is an endless corridor 
                              C 
Where behind each every open door 

C                          Dm 
All my doubts my fear my sin 
                      C 
I don't know how to begin 
                                    F 
It's a maze within a maze without within 
                         C 
My mind my mind my labyrinth 
 
Am  G        C 
I can't forget you 
Am  G   C 
I try all the time 
Am  G     C 
I can't forget you 
Am                  G       C 
Berlin with your hand in mine
 

verse 4 
C                                  Dm 
So happy is the blameless vestal's love 
                                   C 
The world forgetting by the world forgot 
                                  F 
Is it eternal sunshine or endless dark 
                                     C 
Or just a branch left hanging by the bark 

                                Dm 
Maybe there are victories and defeats 
                                   C 
That slip through the cracks of history 
                                  F 
We're just two little people in a sea 
                                     C 
But know that it meant everything to me 

Am  G        C 
I can't forget you 
Am  G   C 
I try all the time 
Am  G        C 
I can't forget you 
Am                  G       C 
Berlin with your hand in mine 


Verse 5 
C                              Dm 
The cold wind made your cheeks glow 
                          C 
Shivering away under your coat 
                          F 
Berlin was all covered in snow 
                                C 
All I could offer was a hand to hold 

                              Dm 
So we made our way to the memorial 
                               C 
You traced your hand along the wall 
                         F 
When they put on the video 
                 Am         C     F 
I felt your hand tighten in mine 

         Am     C     F 
You were always on my mind 

Am  G        F 
I can't forget you 
Am  G   F 
I try all the time 
Am  G     F 
I can't forget you 
Am                  G       F 
Berlin with your hand in mine
