[Intro]

C
[Verse 1]
DmSmooth the bricks under her Gfeet
The curl of her Chair on the curve of her cFheek
DmKneeling she looks up at Gme
The old, dark catChedral towering over the sFtreet
All we can sDmmell and all we can sGee
Every caCfe on the long, winding stFreet
Suddenly Dmall of the children will Gsing
An afternoon sCong for the sky opeFning
GWe're all watching
[Chorus]
CGray, part into Amblue
Stained window-glass Ghues
GOld becomes new
Follow me tChrough
The back-alley Amroad
Drink the unGknown
GHoney we're home
You and me lost in the heart of KölnC  
[Verse 2]
DmWe'll attend every balGlet
I'll take her Chand and we'll dance to the Ftrain
Our rooftop Dmflat overlooking the Gbay
All of our fCriends in their sailboats will Fwave
We'll close the Dmwindow as it starts to Grain
Listen to Cwater-drops tapping the Fpane
The sun will set Dmsoon and the star-lit chamGpagne
Until the Cmorning will keep us Fawake
GWe're both watching
[Chorus]
CGray, part into Amblue
Stained window-glass Ghues
GOld becomes new
Follow me tChrough
The back-alley Amroad
Drink the unGknown
GHoney we're home
You and me lost in the heart of KölnC

[Intro]

C Am G G

[Verse 1]

Dm G

Smooth the bricks under her feet

C F

The curl of her hair on the curve of her cheek

Dm G

Kneeling she looks up at me

C F

The old, dark cathedral towering over the street

Dm G

All we can smell and all we can see

C F

Every cafe on the long, winding street

Dm G

Suddenly all of the children will sing

C F

An afternoon song for the sky opening

We're all watching

[Chorus]

C Am

Gray, part into blue

Stained window-glass hues

Old becomes new

Follow me through

The back-alley road

Drink the unknown

Honey we're home

You and me lost in the heart of Köln

[Verse 2]

Dm G

We'll attend every ballet

C F

I'll take her hand and we'll dance to the train

Dm G

Our rooftop flat overlooking the bay

C F

All of our friends in their sailboats will wave

Dm G

We'll close the window as it starts to rain

C F

Listen to water-drops tapping the pane

Dm G

The sun will set soon and the star-lit champagne

C F

Until the morning will keep us awake

We're both watching

[Chorus]

C Am

Gray, part into blue

Stained window-glass hues

Old becomes new

Follow me through

The back-alley road

Drink the unknown

Honey we're home

You and me lost in the heart of Köln

[Outro]

C Am G G
