Tuning: Standard
Capo: None


--Verse 1--

             G+G        D MajorD
I always thought it was you,
             E minorEm      C majorC
You always thought it was me,
              FF
We always thought we were it,
              A minorAm
Seemed like a real perfect fit,
               C majorC
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free!

              G+G          D MajorD
I always thought even though,
                E minorEm    C majorC
We were so young we could grow up,
             FF
And in the end it would be us,
              A minorAm
We would take the FF by the Bus,
              C majorC
Where Brooklyn Nights set us free


--Chorus--
   G+G      D MajorD          E minorEm      C majorC
Its not that I don’t wanna love you,
    D MajorD     E minorEm           C majorC
Its not that I’m really over it, You Know, You Know,
   G+G      D MajorD           E minorEm            C majorC
Its just that I can’t watch us bleed to death,
FF           A minorAm
When we used to be,
 C majorC          A minorAm
Brooklyn Nights happy!

--Verse 2--

               G+G     D MajorD
I miss that cheap chandelier,
               E minorEm     C majorC
’member when dad hung it there,
            FF
We would watch Rocky 4,
                 A minorAm
The one where the Russian scored,
             C majorC
I love Brigitte Nielsens hair

            G+G    D MajorD
I’d cry you’re my champion
            E minorEm        C majorC
But we had already won,
                FF
And cracked open one last beer,
            A minorAm
Falling asleep in our tears,
                 C majorC
Those Brooklyn Nights set us free!
--Chorus--
   G+G      D MajorD          E minorEm      C majorC
Its not that I don’t wanna love you,
    D MajorD     E minorEm           C majorC
Its not that I’m really over it, You Know, You Know,
   G+G      D MajorD           E minorEm            C majorC
Its just that I can’t watch us bleed to death,
FF           A minorAm
When we used to be,
 C majorC          A minorAm
Brooklyn Nights happy!


--Bridge--
E minorEm            C majorC
I found an old pair of keys in my purse
   D MajorD            A minorAm
That opened the lockup we shared,
                E minorEm
How did they get there, jerk.?
          C majorC
I wanna see you there,
          E minorEm
I wanna make it work

E minorEm         C majorC
I didn’t brush my hair,
         D MajorD
And my lashes are falling
       A minorAm            E minorEm
After 7 years of our bad luck dating
            C majorC
I want one last night there
          E minorEm
A augmentedA Brooklyn Night affair


--Chorus--
   G+G      D MajorD          E minorEm      C majorC
Its not that I don’t wanna love you,
    D MajorD     E minorEm           C majorC
Its not that I’m really over it, You Know, You Know,
   G+G      D MajorD           E minorEm            C majorC
Its just that I can’t watch us bleed to death,
FF           A minorAm
When we used to be,
 C majorC          A minorAm
Brooklyn Nights happy!

--Outro--
G+G                D MajorD
Its not that I don’t want to love you
            E minorEm
’Cause I really tried, and I,
                C majorC
Just wanna hang with the old you,

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