On the Museum Island Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]On the museum island,
At the [Em]en d of the day,
We had trav[C]elled for miles,
We had [G]come to escape
All [F]the space on the page
That the [C]newspapers gave
Up to pic[F]tures and pictures of [C]us.
As we followed the coffin
[Em]Of your famous father.
Ad[C]justing our skirts
As [G]we turned at the altar.
And within [F]every word
That they'd [C]written, was spelt out
You'd [F]taken your last ever [C]bus.
So skimming the surface
[G]Of all your new money,
[Am]We skimmed the surface
Of the air [C]as we flew.
We were out [F]of the rain,
We were [C]thinking that may[Am]be
[G]Berlin was [F]the place to renew.
[C]

[Verse 2]
Well you know [F]what they say
About ter[C]rible hate
It [Am]will breed something good
When it's [C]through.
At the en[F]d of the day,
By [C]the Potsdamer [Am]Place
And [G]the Brandenburg [F]Gate,

[Interlude 1]
It was you.
[C][Em][C][Em]
You [C]have hardened

[Verse 3]
completely
By [G]the end of this story,
You have learned [Am]to look clear
Through [G]the flash of a bulb,
When you hear your own [C]name
From [G]the back of a crowd,
You [Am]just straighten your gaze,
No [G]you don't turn around.
Oh but [F]there was a time
At [G]the end of the day,
We were both [Am]stood in line
At the mu[C]seum display,
And you out[F]shone the light
Under [C]which you were bathed,
You could out[Am]shine the sky
With the look [C]that you gave,
Oh so [F]don't be afraid
To look [C]back and wave,
Now [Am]that waving is all that [C]you do.
At the en[F]d of the day,
By [C]the Potsdamer [Am]Place,
I [G]am waving [F]back at [C]you.

[Verse 4]
[C]So [Em]don't[C][Em][G]
[F]be afraid
[C]To look back and wave,
Now that [Am]wav ing is all that y[C]ou do.
At the en[F]d of the day,
By [C]the Potsdamer [Am]Place,
I [G]am waving [F]back at you.
