a balladeer - Pre-Berlin

      [Verse 1]
               B                     F#m
Just a perfect day (for this time of year)
             E
We're making away with right in the rear
                      B
An Indian Summer sun, red

F#m       E
Berlin ahead

[Verse 2]
           B                       F#m
The sky so pretty through the open roof
         E
And I so witty - your laughter, my proof
         B
All your glee
              F#m       E
Through your hand on my knee

[Chorus]
    B
The memory's alive tonight
    F#m
The driver's seat feels quite alright
    E
And I don't know what it is
    F#m
But I think I could get used to this

[Verse 3]
             B                      F#m
The lamppost lights are a canopy of stars
           E
But you on my right you light up the car
             B
The road and me
             F#m   E
Your hand on my knee

[Verse 4]
     B                            F#m
More on than off it distracts my pedal foot
       E                B
As we fall in love with Parachutes
          F#m
Yeah, we do 
         E
Yeah, we do

[Chorus]
    B
The memory's alive tonight
    F#m
The driver's seat feels quite alright
    E
And I don't know what it is
    F#m
But I think I could get used to this

[Post-Chorus]
    B                  F#m
I am aware and sad somehow

This is here, this is now
       E                           F#m
How I love to be in this state we're in
                      B
Right before we take Berlin

F#m  E  F#m
               B
Before we take Berlin

F#m  E  F#m

[Verse 5]
                 B
We're moving too fast
                   F#m
Let's take another five
                    E
I'd just like it to last

This six hour drive
           B
A few hours more

 F#m            E
Snacks and gas galore

[Chorus]
    B
The memory's alive tonight
    F#m
The driver's seat feels quite alright
    E
And I don't know what it is
    F#m
But I think I could get used to this

[Post-Chorus]
    B                  F#m
I am aware and sad somehow

This is here, this is now
       E                           F#m
How I love to be in this state we're in
                      B
Right before we take Berlin

F#m E F#m

[Outro]
B
Don't tell me you don't feel this
F#m
Don't tell me you don't feel this
E
Don't tell me you don't feel this
F#m
Don't tell me you don't feel this, too
B
Don't tell me you don't feel this
F#m
Don't tell me you don't feel this
E
Don't tell me you don't feel this
F#m
Don't tell me you don't feel this, too
