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,

When we used to be,

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,

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.
