G5 D5 G5 D5
The mascara'd blonde from the Berliner bar
G5 D5 G5 D5
Rises at twilight, gets dressed in a daze
C5 G5 C5 G5
Black leather crackles and cold water runs
C5 G5 C5 G5
As she touches the walls of her memory maze
G5 D5 G5 D5
And the shadows of men she has known fill her day
G5 D5 G5 D5
She's held half the world in her arms so they say
C5 G5 C5 G5
But she wakes up without them with a hole in her heart
C5 G5 C5 G5
And she puts on her clothes, lives her life behind bars
D5 A5 D5 A5 D5 A5 D5 A5
G5 D5 G5 D5
The mascara'd blonde from the Berliner bar
G5 D5 G5 D5
Sighs at the skylight, gets lost in the haze
C5 G5 C5 G5
Black leather crackles and cold water runs
C5 G5 C5 G5
As she touches the walls of her memory maze
E5 B5 E5 B5 E5 B5 E5 B5
E5 B5 C5 D5
Someone got stranded in no man's land
E5 B5 C5 D5
Dancing in the spotlight to the sound of clapping hands
E5 B5 C5 D5
Nobody knows whose side he was on
E5 B5 C5 D5
It's a risk that you take in no man's land
E5 B5 C5 D5
Nobody knows what made him decide
E5 B5 C5 D5
To run for freedom and to certain suicide
E5 B5 C5 D5
When they turn off the guns and his fingers uncurl
E5 B5 C5 D5
He's clutching a photograph of a Berlin party girl
E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
E5 E5
Come in from your checkpoints on your lonely roads
E5 E5
Come in from your ditches in your silent fields
E5 E5
Where intensified light from a rifle sight
E5
Makes the darkness day
E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
And the day too bright, too bright
E5 E5
And we wake up without you
E5 E5
We wake up without you
E5 E5
We wake up without you
E5 E5
We wake up without you
G5 D5
With a hole in our hearts
G5 D5 C5 G5 C5 G5
With a hole in our hearts
G5 D5
You mad dog shaven head bottle-boy freaks
G5 D5
In Martens and khaki, drunk on sake
C5 G5
You stare at yourself in the cruel flush of dawn
C5 G5
Terrified, sunken-eyed, withered and drawn
G5 D5
The butcher, the baker, the munitions maker
G5 D5
The over-achiever, the armistice breaker
C5 G5
The freebase instructor, the lightning conductor
C5 G5
The psycho, the sailor, the tanker, the tailor
G5 D5
The black market mailer, the quick and the dead
G5 D5
The spotlight dancer, the quick and the dead
C5 G5 C5 G5 G5 D5 G5 D5
The quick and the dead, the quick and the dead
C5 G5
We wake up without you
C5 G5
We wake up without you
G5 D5 G5 D5 C5 G5 C5 G5
With a hole in our hearts
G5 D5 G5 D5 C5 G5 C5 G5 G5 D5 G5 D5
G5 D5 G5 D5
The mascara'd blonde from the Berliner bar
Eb5 D5 G5
Rises at twilight, gets dressed in a daze
