Open house 03:10
F? C E Am if you have an open house then you have an open mind and you will live a housand times more We arrived at Shnells house and I had a panic breakdown I never met Shnell before but he offered me a bed to spend the afternoon if you have an open house then you have an open mind and you will live a housand times more At night when I felt better Shnells house filled up with his friends and some neighbor’s just passing by to see what was going on there if you have an open house then you have an open mind and you will live a housand times more and we played our songs and people were chanting along they had freestore out on that street the night was warm and my heart beat if you have an open house then you have an open mind and you will live a housand times more I slept like a baby cat in the morning we left for Robertos flat in Berlin

C F C F C F G G? Summer comes to the Görlitzer park frisbee style like it never gets dark beach sand in between your toes at the zuckerzauber and I’m ruining the mood with my songs we got the wings and you got the shade we got the hummus and you got the bread ice tea for the jazz disco nights that open stage drives me wild wild wild Free beer every night but I aint drinking A smile in everything but I aint thinking clear the night is a dream filled with thunder and spices and I’m gonna ride it out like I’m myself

Capo 1 C Climate changes over Europe F and I'm riding buses to sing songs about my dog C Climate changes over Europe F I get a few euros in the hat for playing songs C But something's going on I miss my plastic water bottle F but I guess it's happier in Berlin C I know you don't agree with me James F But there's a smile in everything C Water's rising over Europe F that smile turns into a grin C Water's rising over Europe F and it will swallow everything G By 2035 F and if I am alive C I'm gonna have to build an ark F out of plastic water bottles C it will be Waterworld all over G and I'm gonna tattoo a map F on my back C with directions to the moon

Capo 4th C Am F G You’ve been on my mind- and im just a couple minutes late You’ve been on my mind- I’m punching circles to catch the last train Constantly- I’m always loosing myself on these streets. But you’ve been on my mind- I know excuses won’t mean anything We met up in Hamburg - and your stomach was a bit upset We met up in Hamburg - it was your stress trying to win the be-et The night was warm - when you decided to just let it go When we met up in Hamburg - And with your voice you managed to control F G C Am F G oooooh - All those fears when you were standing there on the stage giving your everything Fighting back with every vibrant chord (Placing smiles within everyone C Am F G Your house in Berlin - I’m sorry my kitchen is a fucking mess In your house in Berlin - I still can feed you with some chilean ta-aste There’s so much going on - Is up to you to keep yourself in place and thunder hit town - Und ich bin glücklich wir sind schon wieder da hum. We met up with Jan - is it the weather or I like this town Yea We met up with Jan - In Nuremberg everyone seems so ni-ice We slept in Jans bed - And I just cant really get over it and we met up with Jan again- He said we have people everywhere F G C Am F G He said we have people everywhere He said we have people everywhere C Am F G There’s a smile in everything - it ain’t that simple to just say it like this There’s a smile in everything - But you will see one if you really try hard Bavarian summer nights - We were given in this space and time There’s a smile in everything - Stories that willl live in our guitars. F G C Am F G oooooh - All those fears when you were standing there on the stage giving your everything Fighting back with every vibrant chord (Placing smiles within everyone ————————————————————————————————————— You’ve been on my mind You’ve been on my mind Constantly But you’ve been on my mind F G C Am F G oooooh

Sleeping in the room where ss officeers used to sleep sleeping in the house that was the heart of the beast from the kunstverein in Nuremberg they ran their fascist machine but its a punk club now, aint that sweet and if hitlers ghost shows up tonight I admit Im gonna be scared but Im gonna tell that unclefucker go ahead and haunt this house you are dead and I am alive now Facism is dead and we sing whatever we want to sing Fascism is dead and we love whoever we want to love

Your life is an adventure like Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the lost ark Your job is a dark dungeon filled with traps and treasure but it will fucking eat your heart Your life is a balance act between the girl you love in Siberia and a hateful nazi regime and you just stumble around confused getting shot at on their submarine Aint that so, doctor Jo Yea you know it’s true I know it would have been easier to be born with some social skills and a sense of this world all this anxiety never did you any good, did it, worrying about mistakes and growing old One day you learn hopefully not to be wasting your life on that shit and also not eat poisoned dates also snakes are not helping, but at least you try doctor Jones and I think that’s great Aint that so, doctor Jo Yea you know it’s true One day doctor Jones you be 80 years old and you will be looking back on all the amazing things that you did will your life be just a secret warehouse full of boxes of important relics and archeology? no you could still write a poem and you could write the most beautiful poem filled with romance, lust and grace and you know the most beautiful thing is the divine ark when it melts the fucking nazis face Aint that so, doctor Jo Yea you know it’s true
