Intro
C Am G G x2
C
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
G
We're all watching
[Refrão]C Am
Gray, part into blue
G
Stained window-glass hues
G
Old becomes new
C
Follow me through
Am
The back-alley road
G
Drink the unknown
G
Honey we're home
C
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
G
We're both watching
[Refrão]C Am
Gray, part into blue
G
Stained window-glass hues
G
Old becomes new
C
Follow me through
Am
The back-alley road
G
Drink the unknown
G
Honey we're home
C
You and me lost in the heart of Köln
