Verse 1:
                        G   D  
I always tought it was you,  You 
                       Em
always tought it was me.
Em                          C    
   We always tought we were it, 
                         D
seem like a real perfect fit
                               G
those Brooklyn Nights set us free.
                        G   D     
I always tought even though, we 
                    Em
were so young we could grow.
Em                        C      
   up in the end it'd be us, we 
                    D
take the 'f' or the bus
                              G
were Brooklyn Nights set us free.

Chorus:
     G        D              Em

                 Em
you (Don't wanna love you)
     Bm       D               Am 
It's not that I'm really over it,
               C
 you know (You know)
     G         D              
It's just that I can't watch us 
    Em
bleed to death.
 Bm             D  Am
When we used to be Brooklyn Nights 
happy.

I loved Brigitte Nielsen's hair.
                      G   D

                Em
we had already won
 Em                           C   
   and cracked open our last beer 
                         D
falling asleep in your tears
                              G
those Brooklyn Nights set us free.

 you know (You know)
     G         D              
It's just that I can't watch us

lashes are falling off of seven 
     G
years
                  Em
of our bad luck dating.

 for just one Brooklyn Night adieu.
