[Intro]
Bb
Remember we sat in the cold, no money in my Trio
Underneath that waterfall nobody else ever saw
Dm
I packed up everything except those memories
That only I can see, and can't get rid of
[Verse 1]
Bb F
I still remember the first, your body hit every nerve
Bb F
Used to wake up in my shirt, that's the one I had to burn
Dm F
Trying not to stare, but you are everywhere
Dm F Gm Am Gm
You're everywhere that I ev er known
[Chorus]
Bb F
You feel like Brooklyn in the summer
Bb F
Been hiding, had to wait for so long
Dm F
And it's the subtleties, you've only ever seen
Dm F Gm Am Gm
Bringing the mess of me back to ge ther
Bb F
You feel like Brooklyn in the summer
Bb F
Been stumbling, half awake for so long
Dm F Dm
Gotta forget that feeling, give into something real
F Gm Am Gm Bb
I've got, I've gotta let you go
Dm
Gotta let you go
[Verse 2]
Bb F
This morning I walked to the train, just like you did every day
Bb F
Everyone else is the same, I wonder if you're the same
Dm F
And do you lay your head in someone else's bed
Dm N.C.
To help you bury it? Just like you always did
Bb F
And now you're in all of my words, only way I can return
Bb F
Memories fade in reverse, but you will always be heard
Dm F
Wherever I can sing, you'll be right there with me
Dm F Gm Am Gm
The notes and melodies that only I can see
[Chorus]
Bb F
You feel like Brooklyn in the summer
Bb F
Been hiding, had to wait for so long
Dm F
And it's the subtleties, you've only ever seen
Dm F Gm Am Gm
Bringing the mess of me back to ge ther
Bb F
You feel like Brooklyn in the summer
Bb F
Been stumbling, half awake for so long
Dm F Dm
Gotta forget that feeling, give into something real
F Gm Am Gm Bb
I've got, I've gotta let you go
Bb
Gotta let you go
[Bridge]
Bb F Bb
But maybe I'm not really ready to give up you
Bb F Dm
'Cause nobody ever mattered to me like you do
Dm F Dm
'Cause you're so up here, I caught that feeling
F Gm Am Gm Bb
And touch the ceiling, ooh
Bb F Bb
I wish I could describe it with words just ain't enough
Bb F Dm
And nothing that I could say would ever measure up
Dm F Dm
But what I can't stand is you're outta my hands
F Gm Am Gm
And up outta your plans, ooh
[Chorus]
Bb F
You feel like Brooklyn in the summer
Bb F
Been hiding, had to wait for so long
