[Verse 1]
A
It was cold in the morning when I left Berlin
E
But last night's drinks had kept a fire burnin' in
D A
My heart so I needed the chill and the dim
E A
White light of the sun on my sallow skin
[Chorus]
A
Before we even get a chance to choose
E
We are already forgiven
D A
We are already forgiven
E A
We are older than the world we live in
[Verse 2]
A
You can't be early, you can't be late
E
It's not a city, it's a state
D A
It's not a city, it's a state, an island
E A
Secret, secluded and excitin'
[Chorus]
A
Before we even get a chance to choose
E
We are already forgiven
D A
We are already forgiven
E A
We are older than the world we live in
[Interlude]
A E D A E A
[Verse 3]
A
In the bars they're aloof but they keep an open mind
E
Smoke inside and drink outside
D A
Smoke inside and drink warm lager beer
E A
It's the freedom, it's the freedom that I love down here
Chorus]
A
Before we even get a chance to choose
E
We are already forgiven
D A
We are already forgiven
E A
We are older than the world we live in
Chorus]
A
Before we even get a chance to choose
E
We are already forgiven
D A
We are already forgiven
E A
We are older than the world we live in
