F BmThey say I'm too young to love you
BI don't know what I need
They think I don't understand
F G FThe Freedomland of the seventies
BmI think I'm too cool to know ya
BYou say I'm like the ice I freeze
I'm churning out novels like
F G BmBeat poetry on Amphetamines
B BmI say...
GI say...
[Chorus]
B FWell, my boyfriend's in the band
G BHe plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
G BI've got feathers in my hair
G BmI get down to Beat poetry
B FAnd my jazz collection's rare
G BI can play almost anything
G BI'm a Brooklyn baby
G BmI'm a Brooklyn baby
[Instrumental]

F BmThey say I'm too young to love you
BThey say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
F G FBy the colors like they forgot to read
BmI think we're like fire and water
BI think we're like the wind and sea
You're burning up, I'm cooling down
BmYou're up, I'm down
Bsus2 BmYou're blind, I see
B BmBut I'm free
GI'm free
[Chorus]
B FWell, my boyfriend's in the band

G BI can play almost anything
G BI'm a Brooklyn baby
G BmI'm a Brooklyn baby

Bm * Cm * F * BCause I don't have to fucking explain it
[Chorus]
B FWell, my boyfriend's in the band

G BI'm a Brooklyn baby
G BmI'm a Brooklyn baby
