Berlin Chords

[Intro]
C F x2
 
[Verse 1]
C                              F
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                                F
So we made our way to the memorial
                               C
You traced your hand along the wall
                          F
When they put on the video
                 Am         G     C
I felt your hand tighten... in... mine
 
Am G C
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                                F
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
 
                              F
Leave my world just black and white
                          C
Snatch the sun out of the sky
                          F
For the only colour in my life
              Am    G          C
Is the memory of... you... and I
 
Am G
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                                   F
  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                          F
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
 
 
[Chorus]
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     F  C
Berlin, with your hand in mine
 
 
[Verse 4]
C                                  F
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?
 
                                F
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
 
 
[Chorus]
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     F  C  F  C
Berlin, with your hand in mine
 
 
[Verse 5]
                               F
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
 
                                    F
So we made our way to the memorial
                                    C
You traced your hand along the wall
                           F
When they put on the video
                 Am         G     F
I felt your hand tighten... in... mine
 
         Am     G     F
You were always on my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
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       C
Berlin, with your hand in mine
