[Dm] Last night I [G] dreamed I was Brooklyn [D] on my own
Last night I dreamed I was Brooklyn on my own
[G] Lord I couldn't see the shadows all in [D] me
Dreamed I [G] was in Brooklyn [D] on my own
[G]
[D] [G]
[D] Now them demons [G] had their faces [D] bright as gold
Oh those demons [G] had their faces [D] bright as gold
[G]
They came and shook my hand, [Bm] fingers crossed [G] behind their [D] back
Demons [G] had their faces [D] bright as gold
So
[G]
[D] I'm sitting by my lonesome in the light
Oh I'm sitting by my lonesome in the light
[G] Don't know what I see, [Bm] light [G] plays tricks on [D] me
I'm sitting [G] by my lonesome [D] in the light
[Bm] And I don't know [G] what's ahead up [D] coming next
[Bm] Well it [G] shakes my feet, [D] rattles my head
[G]
There's no telling how, [Bm] just a sign of [G] our love
[D] Me and the [G] poor little [D] bird
[G]
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] And a season came and quieted with the rain
Loving you was just like raising canes
[Em] Strong and [G] bound for glory, [Bm] cursed with a [G] thousand stories
[D] Oh the season [G] came and quieted [D] with the rain
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[Em] [G] [Bm] [G]
[D]
[G] [D]
Now I'm picking up the pieces where I went wrong
I'm picking up the pieces where I went wrong
[G]
Something so familiar, like an old bedtime song
[D] I'm picking [G] up the pieces where [D] I went wrong
[G] [D]
[Bm] And I don't know [G] what's ahead up [D] coming next
[Bm] Well it [G] shakes my feet, [D] rattles my head
[G]
There's no telling how, [Bm] just a sign of [G] our love
[D] Me and the poor [D] little bird
Me and the [G] poor little [D] bird
Me and the [G] poor little bird
