Standard

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 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!

--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.
