LYRICS
Load the car and (G)write the note;
grab your bag and (G)grab your coat.
Tell the ones that (G)need to know:
(Bm)we are (A)head ed north.
(D)One foot in and one foot back,
but it don’t pay to (G)live like (D)that.
So I cut the ties and I (G)jumped the tracks,
for (Bm)nev er to re turn.
Ah, (D)Brook lyn, Brook lyn, (G)take me in.
Are you a ware the (G)shape I’m in?
My hands, they shake; my (G)head, it spins.
Ah, Brook lyn, Brook lyn, (G)take me in.
(D)When at first I learned to (D)speak,
like I used of all my words to (D)fight
with him and her and you and me.
Oh, but it’s (Bm)such a waste of time.
Yeah, it’s (Bm)such a waste of (G)time.
That (D)wom an, she’s got eyes that (D)shine
like a pair of sto len pol ished (D)dimes.
She asked to dance; I said it’s fine.
Oh, but it’s (Bm)such a waste of time.
Yeah, it’s (Bm)such a waste of (G)time.
That
I’ll (Bm)see you in the morn ing time.
Ah,
Three (D)words that be came (G)hard to (D)say:
(Bm)‘I’ and (A)‘love’ and (G)‘you.’
What (D)you were then, I am to (D)day;
look (Bm)at the things I (G)do.
Ah, (D)Brook lyn, Brook lyn, (G)take me in.
Are you a ware the (G)shape I’m in?
My hands, they shake; my (G)head, it spins.
Ah, Brook lyn, Brook lyn, (G)take me in.
(D)Brook lyn, Brook lyn, (G)take me in.
Are you a ware the (G)shape I’m in?
My hands, they shake; my (G)head, it spins.
Ah, Brook lyn, Brook lyn, (G)take me in.
Dumbed down and numbed by (G)time and age,
your dreams to catch the world, the (D)cage.
The high way sets the trav ’ler’s (D)stage.
