[Verse]
 
D                G         D
Load the car and write the note
D                 G         D
Grab your bag and grab your coat
D                  G       D
Tell the ones that need to know
Bm      A           G
We are headed north
 
 
[Verse]
 
D               G          D
One foot in and one foot back
    D               G         D
But it don't pay to live like that
     D                  G          D
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
    Bm    A    G
For never to return
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   D                 G       D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
    D             G         D
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
   D                    G        D
My hands they shake, my head it spins
   D                 G        D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
 
 
[Verse]
 
D               G          D
When at first I learned to speak
  D           G        D
I used all my words to fight
     D               G       D
With him and her and you and me
             Bm    A        G
Aw but it's just a waste of time
           Bm      A        G
Yeah, it's such a waste of time
 
 
[Verse]
 
     D               G         D
That woman she's got eyes that shine
       D              G        D
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
    D                 G         D
She asked to dance, I said it's fine (aw it's fine)
     Bm       A     G       D
I'll see you in the morning time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   D                 G       D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
    D             G         D
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
   D                    G        D
My hands they shake, my head it spins
   D                 G        D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

[Bridge]
 
      D                 G       D
Three words that became hard to say
Bm     A        G
I and love and you
     D               G    D
What you were then I am today
     Bm      A      G
Look at the things I do
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   D                 G       D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
    D             G         D
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
   D                    G        D
My hands they shake, my head it spins
   D                 G        D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in          x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
       D                  G        D
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age
     D                     G         D
Your dreams that catch the world the cage
    D                 G        D
The highway sets the travelers stage
    Bm    A        G
All exits look the same
 
 
[Outro]
 
      D                 G       D
Three words that became hard to say
Bm     A        G
I and love and you
Bm     A       G
I and love and you
Bm     A        G
I and love and you

The chord progression at the end of some stanzas (aka 'we are headed north') I believe is Bm A G instead of D A G. Hope that helps. Also, any idea of the little instrumental chord progression in the middle of the song?
