[Intro]
 C   Fx2
[Verse 1]
CThe cold wind made your cheeks Fglow
Shivering away under your Ccoat
Berlin was all covered in Fsnow
All I could offer was a hand to Chold
CSo we made our way to the memoriaFl
You traced your hand along the Cwall
When they put on the videoF  
I felt your hand Amtighten... Gin... Cmine
Am G C
[Verse 2]
COh, to be lost in an Alzheimer's Ffog
Like the grandfather I lost before I Clost
Raise the root but spare the Ftree
And cut you out of my Cmemory
Leave my world just black and Fwhite
Snatch the sun out of the Csky
For the only colour in my Flife
Is the memory Amof... Gyou... and CI
Am G
[Verse 3]
  COh, for every crime that I commitF  
Is there not a punishment to fit?C  
I'm sorry is an endless corridorF  
Where behind each every, open Cdoor
CAll my doubts, my fear, my Fsin
I don't know how to beCgin
It's a maze within a maze, without, withFin
My mind, my mind, my labyCrinth
Am G C
[Chorus]
  AmI Gcan't forCget you
I Amtry Gall the Ctime
  AmI Gcan't forCget you
BerAmlin, with your Ghand in CmineF  C  
[Verse 4]
CSo happy is the blameless vestal's Flove
The world forgetting, by the world forCgot
Is it eternal sunshine or endless Fdark?
Or just a branch left hanging by the Cbark?
Maybe there are victories and deFfeats
That slip through the cracks of histoCry
We're just two little people in a Fsea
But know that it meant everything to Cme
Am G C
[Chorus]
  AmI Gcan't forCget you
I Amtry Gall the Ctime
  AmI Gcan't forCget you
BerAmlin, with your Ghand in CmineF  C  F  C  
[Verse 5]
The cold wind made your cheeks Fglow
Shivering away under your coatC  
Berlin was all covered in snowF  
All I could offer was a hand to Chold
So we made our way to the memorialF  
You traced your hand along the wallC  
When they put on the videoF  
I felt your hand Amtighten... Gin... Fmine
You were Amalways Gon my Fmind

[Intro]

C F

[Verse 1]

C F

The cold wind made your cheeks glow

Shivering away under your coat

Berlin was all covered in snow

All I could offer was a hand to hold

C F

So we made our way to the memorial

You traced your hand along the wall

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

Like the grandfather I lost before I lost

Raise the root but spare the tree

And cut you out of my memory

Leave my world just black and white

Snatch the sun out of the sky

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

Is there not a punishment to fit?

I'm sorry is an endless corridor

Where behind each every, open door

C F

All my doubts, my fear, my sin

I don't know how to begin

It's a maze within a maze, without, within

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

The world forgetting, by the world forgot

Is it eternal sunshine or endless dark?

Or just a branch left hanging by the bark?

Maybe there are victories and defeats

That slip through the cracks of history

We're just two little people in a sea

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]

The cold wind made your cheeks glow

Shivering away under your coat

Berlin was all covered in snow

All I could offer was a hand to hold

So we made our way to the memorial

You traced your hand along the wall

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

[Outro]
