[D] [G]
[D] Nina can [Em] be your boyfriend,
[D] [F#m] so you can stay with [Em] your girlfriend.
[D] Your father is a [Em] sweet old man, but it's hard for him to [D] understand,
[F#m] that you want to [G] love a woman.
[D] [F#m] Nina [Em] can be your boyfriend,
[D] if [F#m] it puts an end [Em] to all this nonsense.
[D] [F#m] First time I see you [Em] in Berlin, and you don't tell me [F#m] anything,
until outside your [G] dad's apartment.
[F#m] [Em]
[D] Oh God, Jesus [Em] Christ, I try to [A] focus on your [D] eyes,
but having dinner [A] with your family now, [Em] keep a steady look at [A] your left eyebrow.
If it's race, it means yes, [Em] if it's not, means take a [D] guess.
Hey, you stop kicking my legs, [Em] I'm doing my best, can [A] you pass me Fates?
[F#m] [Em] [D]
[Em] [D]
Your [F#m] father puts on [Em] my record, [D]
he [F#m] says don't tell me how [Em] you met her.
I get a [F#m] little nervous and [Em] change the subject, I put my hand on some [D] metal object,
he jokes and tells me it's [G] a lie detector.
He [F#m] takes out the booklet and [Em] starts reading, so [D]
I [F#m] heard you're moving [Em] out next season.
New [F#m] York is nice that [Em] time of year, almost as green as [F#m] it is here,
he says I thought you were [G] moving to Sweden.
[D] Oh, oh [A] God, what have I [Em] done, I came to Berlin [A] to have some fun,
I'm at [D] a clock on a low, strikes four by six, my [Em] eyes caught by a big [A] crucifix.
[D] Guess as well, he won't [A] bless you, so his [Bm] Catholic card is big [D] and slow.
You know I'll do anything for [Em] love, but Nina, [A] what were you thinking [G] of?
[D] [A] [A]
[D] [A] [Em] [F#m]
[G] [A] [D] But Nina, I can be your [Bm] boyfriend, [D] so you can stay with [Em] your girlfriend.
[D] Your father's mailing me [G] all the time, he says he just wants to [F#m] say hi.
I send back out of [G] office auto replies.
[D] [F#m] Nina, I just [Em] want to check in, [D] cause I [F#m] think about you [Em] every second.
[D] So I [F#m] send you this postcard [Em] just to say, don't let anyone stand [F#m] in your way,
yours truly, [G] Jens Likmein.
