Emmy the Great - On the museum island

^COn the museum island, At the e^Gnd of the day, we had ^Ctravelled for miles, We had ^Gcome to escape All^F the space on the page That the ^Cnewspapers ^Amgave Up to ^Gpictures and ^Fpictures of u^Cs. ^CAs we followed the coffin Of y^Gour famous father. ^CAdjusting our skirts As w^Ge turned at the altar. And ^Fwithin every word That they'd^C written, was spe^Amlt out You'd ^Gtaken your ^Flast ever bus.^C

^CSo skimming the surface Of all ^Gyour new money, we^C skimmed the surface Of the^G air as we flew. we ^Fwere out of the rain, we were ^Cthinking that ^Ammaybe B^Gerlin was the ^Fplace to renew.^C

well^F you know what they say About t^Cerrible hate - It will ^Ambreed something good When it's ^Cthrough. At the^F end of the day, By the^C Potsdamer ^AmPlace And the^G Brandenburg ^FGate, It was y^Cou.

^CYou have hardened completely By the ^Gend of this story, You have^C learned to look clear Through the^G flash of a bulb, When you ^Chear your own name From the^G back of a crowd, You just ^Cstraighten your gaze, No you ^Gdon't turn around. Oh but ^Fthere was a time At the ^Cend of the day, We were ^Amboth stood in line At the ^Cmuseum display, And you^F outshone the light Under ^Cwhich you were bathed, You could ^Amoutshine the sky With the ^Clook that you gave, Oh so ^Fdon't be afraid To look ^Cback and wave, Now that ^Amwaving is all that you ^Cdo. At the ^Fend of the day, By the ^CPotsdamer P^Amlace, I am ^Gwaving b^Fack at y^Cou.

So ^Fdon't be afraid To look^C back and wave, Now that ^Amwaving is all that you ^Cdo. At the ^Fend of the day, By the ^CPotsdamer ^AmPlace, I am^G waving ^Fback at ^Cyou.
