[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
