Brooklyn Nights

	  		
verse 1

                          G                D 
I always thought it was you, 
                          Em           C 
You always thought it was me, 
                           F 
We always thought we were it, 
                           Am 
Seemed like a real perfect fit, 
                             C 
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free! 


                           G                   D 
I always thought even though, 
                               Em        C 
We were so young we could grow up, 
                          F 
And in the end it would be us, 
                           Am 
We would take the F by the Bus, 
                            C 
Where Brooklyn Nights set us free 

 

     G           D                    Em            C 
Its not that I don't wanna love you, 
       D          Em                      C 
Its not that I'm really over it, You Know, You Know, 
     G           D                      Em                        C 
Its just that I can't watch us bleed to death, 
F                     Am 
When we used to be, 
 C                    Am 
Brooklyn Nights happy! 


verse 2

                             G          D 
I miss that cheap chandelier, 
                             Em         C                 
'member when dad hung it there, 
                       F 
We would watch Rocky 4, 
                                 Am 
The one where the Russian scored, 
                          C 
I love Brigitte Nielsens hair 


                        G        D 
I'd cry you're my champion 
                       Em               C 
But we had already won, 
                                F 
And cracked open one last beer, 
                       Am 
Falling asleep in our tears, 
                                  C 
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free! 

 

     G           D                    Em            C 
Its not that I don't wanna love you, 
       D          Em                      C 
Its not that I'm really over it, You Know, You Know, 
     G           D                      Em                        C 
Its just that I can't watch us bleed to death, 
F                     Am 
When we used to be, 
 C                    Am 
Brooklyn Nights happy! 



Bridge 
Em                        C 
I found an old pair of keys in my purse 
     D                       Am 
That opened the lockup we shared, 
                               Em   
How did they get there, jerk.? 
                   C 
I wanna see you there, 
                   Em 
I wanna make it work 

Em                  C 
I didn't brush my hair, 
                  D                 
And my lashes are falling 
             Am                        Em 
After 7 years of our bad luck dating 
                        C 
I want one last night there 
                    Em 
A Brooklyn Night affair 


 
     G           D                    Em            C 
Its not that I don't wanna love you, 
       D          Em                      C 
Its not that I'm really over it, You Know, You Know, 
     G           D                      Em                        C 
Its just that I can't watch us bleed to death, 
F                     Am 
When we used to be, 
 C                    Am 
Brooklyn Nights happy! 


Outro

 
G                               D 
Its not that I don't want to love you 
                        Em            
'Cause I really tried, and I, 
                                C 
Just wanna hang with the old you, 

For just one Brooklyn Night adieu. 
G                               D 
Have a drink with your former self, 
                                    Em 
We both won't act like someone else. 
                                  D 
Maybe then we'd both tell the truth, 
                                 G 
For just one Brooklyn Night adieu.
