Intro Chord diagramC majorC

Chord diagramC majorC
On the museum island,
        Chord diagramG+G
At the end of the day,
       Chord diagramC majorC
we had travelled for miles,
       Chord diagramG+G
We had come to escape
   Chord diagramFF
All the space on the page
         Chord diagramA minorAm
That the newspapers gave
      Chord diagramC majorC
Up to pictures and pictures of us.
Chord diagramC majorC
As we followed the coffin
    Chord diagramG+G
Of your famous father.
Chord diagramC majorC
Adjusting our skirts
    Chord diagramG+G
As we turned at the altar.
    Chord diagramFF
And within every word
           Chord diagramA minorAm
That they'd written, was spelt out
      Chord diagramC majorC
You'd taken your last ever bus.


Chord diagramC majorC
So skimming the surface
       Chord diagramG+G
Of all your new money,
  Chord diagramC majorC
we skimmed the surface
      Chord diagramG+G
Of the air as we flew.
   Chord diagramFF
we were out of the rain,
        Chord diagramA minorAm
we were thinking that maybe
 Chord diagramC majorC
Berlin was the place to renew.

    Chord diagramFF
well you know what they say
       Chord diagramC majorC
About terrible hate -
        Chord diagramA minorAm
It will breed something good
          Chord diagramC majorC
When it's through.
      Chord diagramFF
At the end of the day,
      Chord diagramA minorAm
By the Potsdamer Place
       Chord diagramFF
And the Brandenburg Gate,
        Chord diagramC majorC
It was you.

hold Chord diagramC majorC for interlude

Chord diagramC majorC
You have hardened completely
       Chord diagramG+G
By the end of this story,
        Chord diagramC majorC
You have learned to look clear
           Chord diagramG+G
Through the flash of a bulb,
         Chord diagramC majorC
When you hear your own name
        Chord diagramG+G
From the back of a crowd,
         Chord diagramC majorC
You just straighten your gaze,
       Chord diagramG+G
No you don't turn around.
       Chord diagramFF
Oh but there was a time
       Chord diagramC majorC
At the end of the day,
        Chord diagramA minorAm
We were both stood in line
       Chord diagramC majorC
At the museum display,
       Chord diagramFF
And you outshone the light
      Chord diagramC majorC
Under which you were bathed,
          Chord diagramA minorAm
You could outshine the sky
         Chord diagramC majorC
With the look that you gave,
      Chord diagramFF
Oh so don't be afraid
        Chord diagramC majorC
To look back and wave,
         Chord diagramC majorC
Now that waving is all that you do.
       Chord diagramFF
At the end of the day,
       Chord diagramA minorAm
By the Potsdamer Place,
     Chord diagramC majorC
I am waving back at you.

   Chord diagramFF
So don't be afraid
       Chord diagramC majorC
To look back and wave,
         Chord diagramC majorC

At the end of the day,
       Chord diagramA minorAm

I am waving back at you.
