Chords

[Intro] Em G Em [Verse 1]
G                     C
Döner wrapper done right, and extinguished

G                     C
Crotch of a rollie inside yellow fingers

G                        C                         G   C
Nothing lasts but nearly everything lingers in life

G                        C
Cellphone service is not that expensive

G                                 C             
But that takes commitment and you just don't have it

G                         C
It feels so effortless to be a stranger

G                             C
But feeling foreign is such a lonely habit
[Bridge 1]
Em                          Am 
You can't crop yourself out of a picture

Em                            C
You're out of focus but still framed inside
[Chorus 1]
        G
Well Berlin got blurry

       D                         A   Am
And my heart started hurting for you
Em G Em [Verse 2]
G                     C
Loud mouth living got you some attention

G                        C
And second chances given without doubt

G                                    C                     G     C
'Guess you've got a history but it's not worth a mention tonight

G                        C
Kind ears captive to the beers you've purchased

G                         C
Sipping through scenes of plastered confession

G                             C
Telling pretty stories, is it your sole purpose?

G                          C
Telling everybody that you learned your lesson
[Bridge 2]
Em                            Am
But no one's falling for that nice guy bullshit

Em                         C
They waited years, you can wait one night
[Chorus 2]
        G
Well Berlin got blurry

        D                       A   Am
When my eyes started telling it to
[Instrumental] Em G (x3) Em Am (x2) Em Am C [Verse 3]
G                                C
Funny how it charms you, that Teutonic frankness

G                             C
Listen and it arms you with a new type of patience

G                              C                       G   C
Maybe it alarms you because it tastes so familiar and wild

G                               C
French fries, hot dog, ketchup, main ingredients

G                                   C
Swears in flawless English it's the best in town

G                        C
Funny how a sameness can not be distinguished

G                                 C
Strangeness is relieving when you point it out
[Bridge 3]
Em                      Am
But email poems slogans an example

Em                      C
Of three things I can't unify
[Chorus 3]
        G
Well Berlin got blurry

      D                       A   Am
As my thoughts all hurried to you
[Outro] Em G Em Am
