Standard

[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


[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
  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


[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
  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


[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       F
  Berlin, with your hand in mine
