Intro:
N.C.
 Okay, alright, just let me think
C majorC
 Alright, just let me think

 Just let me think


Verse 1:
C majorC
 My heart is a troubled captain in poisoned television waters
       FF
 I have this air-conditioned nightmare

 Like that book you gave to me last summer
   Bb majorBb                FF
 That made me think that everything was so much worse than it really was
  C majorC
 My heart is a troubled captain

 But let's not get caught up on the weather
       FF
 I could keep searching for the meaning

 Try to keep this all together
        Bb majorBb
 But you've got green eyes like the forest
    FF
 I got lost in on the way to some other life

Chorus:
 C majorC
 Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
 Bb majorBb        FF
 Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
 C majorC
 Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
 Bb majorBb        FF
 Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me


Verse 2:
  N.C.
 My hand is a brain dead magnet

 So I keep waking up on fire
       FF
 Beneath this low rise second city

 That's turning good men into liars
        Bb majorBb
 And maybe I'm not all that good
      FF
 But I was better in your west coast bed
  C majorC
 My hand is a brain dead magnet

 But let's not get caught up on connections
       FF
 I could keep searching for a meaning

 But I'm still looking for directions
    Bb majorBb                FF
 I was baptized in your parents' pool in southern California

 Then I fled


Chorus:
 C majorC
 Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
 Bb majorBb        FF
 Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
 C majorC
 Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
 Bb majorBb        FF
 Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
 C majorC           Bb majorBb      FF
 (La la la-la laa, la-la laa la la-la laa la la)
 C majorC           Bb majorBb      FF
 (La la la-la laa, la-la laa la la-la laa la la)

C majorC C FF F
Bb majorBb FF

Bridge:
N.C
 My hand is a brain dead magnet
      C majorC
 So I keep waking up on fire
       FF
 Beneath this low rise second city

 That's turning good men into liars


Chorus:
 C majorC
 Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
 Bb majorBb        FF
 Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
 C majorC
 Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
 Bb majorBb        FF
 Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me


Chorus:

 Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me

Verse 1:
      F minorFm
 We cross a country
    AbAb
 In an airplane with the wings on fire
 C minorCm               Bb majorBb
 Hanging from the seat belt sign
      F minorFm
 That’s the one thing
      AbAb
 There’s no safety in desire
  C minorCm                Bb majorBb
 Preserving life is as good as dying


Pre-Chorus:
         F minorFm       AbAb
 And these could be the best or darkest days
       C minorCm       Bb majorBb
 The lines we walk are paper thin
       F minorFm        AbAb
 And we could pull this off or push away
        C minorCm       Bb majorBb
 Cause you and me have always been


Chorus:
N.C. F minorFm     AbAb
 So close, so close to giving up
  C minorCm             Bb majorBb
 So close to going all the way
  F minorFm    AbAb
 So close, so close to taking off
  C minorCm           Bb majorBb
 So close to going nowhere
  F minorFm    AbAb
 So close, so close to giving up
  C minorCm             Bb majorBb
 So close to going all the way
  F minorFm    AbAb
 So close, so close to taking off
  C minorCm            Bb majorBb
 So close to going nowhere, nowhere


Verse 2:
       F minorFm        AbAb
 I heard you whisper over the hum of an electric chair
  C minorCm                 Bb majorBb
 To live like this could take its toll
        F minorFm
 But you’re no stranger
    AbAb
 To the high of almost getting there
    C minorCm              Bb majorBb
 Are we losing touch or taking hold?


Pre-Chorus:
         F minorFm       AbAb
 And these could be the best or darkest days
       C minorCm       Bb majorBb
 The lines we walk are paper thin
       F minorFm        AbAb
 And we could pull this off or push away
        C minorCm       Bb majorBb
 Cause you and me have always been


Chorus:
N.C. F minorFm     AbAb
 So close, so close to giving up
  C minorCm             Bb majorBb
 So close to going all the way
  F minorFm    AbAb
 So close, so close to taking off
  C minorCm           Bb majorBb
 So close to going nowhere
  F minorFm    AbAb
 So close, so close to giving up
  C minorCm             Bb majorBb
 So close to going all the way
  F minorFm    AbAb
 So close, so close to taking off
  C minorCm            Bb majorBb
 So close to going nowhere, nowhere


Bridge:
F minorFm    AbAb
 I wanna go there
C minorCm    Bb majorBb
 I wanna go there
F minorFm    AbAb
 I wanna go there
C minorCm  Bb majorBb
 With you


Chorus:
  F minorFm     AbAb
 So close, so close to giving up
  C minorCm             Bb majorBb
 So close to going all the way
  F minorFm    AbAb
 So close, so close to taking off
  C minorCm           Bb majorBb
 So close to going nowhere
  F minorFm    AbAb
 So close, so close to giving up

  E MajorE
 I met up with an acrobat in Brooklyn or some place like that
                                C# minorC#m
 With life and taxis flying past, we tore that dance hall down
 E MajorE
 Pocket change and subway cars, our big ideas filled empty bars

 You might be from the moon or Mars
                  C# minorC#m
 Either way, I'm never going home


Pre-Chorus:
  E MajorE
 So let's hang an anchor from the sun

 We belong, we belong awake, swinging from the fire escape


Verse 2:
    E MajorE
 I was drinking from the wishing well, some junkie metal head hotel
                          C# minorC#m
 When we boarded the carousel, the roof was caving in
 E MajorE
 On the stage, my ox blood friend was singing songs about the end
                                       C# minorC#m
 The bankers in the lion's den were dropping lines like beggars in the snow


Pre-Chorus:

Bridge:
E MajorE
 Walking home, your hand in mine, tattoos on the river line
   E MajorE
 The morning birds are taking flight
                      C# minorC#m
 Either way, I thought that you should know


Chorus:
      E MajorE
 You're my number one

 You're the reason I'm still up at dawn
     A augmentedA
 Just to see your face
     E MajorE           BB
 We'll be going strong with the vampires, baby
 C# minorC#m       A augmentedA      E MajorE
 We belong, we belong awake, swinging from the fire escapee

 Swinging from the fire escape
 E MajorE
 Swinging from the fire escape, swinging from the fire escape
