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
--Chorus--
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 -
G D
I miss that cheap chandelier
Em C
member when dad hung it there
F
We would watch Rocky
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
--Chorus--
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
--Chorus--
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
