Gm Dm
This day's an invitation
F C
And it's just for you
Gm Dm
You've got a reservation
F C
For the 17th of June
D A
Open your eyes
D A
And let the sun break in for a while
D A
There may be something
D A
That you've never seen inside
Gm Dm
Feel how your heart beats
F C
Like a heavy machine
Gm Dm
The sound of the traffic
F C
Is like a silent dream
D A
The dust in the park
D A
The exhaust from the cars
D A D
Ascends in that heated afternoon
A
You touch a sweaty body!
Gm Dm F C
Summer in Berlin, it's alright, (it's alright)
Gm Dm
The day feels so tired
F
From the lead in the air
C
And the fire in the skies
Gm Dm F
Life seemed to be a fault of grace
C
But it's ok
Gm
To gave you a kiss
Dm F C
In the middle of the crossroads
Gm Dm F C D A D A D A D A
Gm Dm
Feel how your heart beats
F C
Like a heavy machine
Gm Dm
The sound of the traffic
F C
Is like a silent dream
D A
The dust in the park
D A
The exhaust from the cars
D A D
Ascends in that heated afternoon
A
You touch a sweaty body!
Summer in Berlin, it's alright
The heat of the sun
Which is stored in the pavement
Feels so fine
Here stands the innocent
and there it comes oh so wild
That's when you're longing
For a summer by the wall
Summer in Berlin, it's alright
Summer in Berlin, it's ok
