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

You were always on my mind

I can't forget you

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