-VERSE- 
                                         Am 
Wake up in the morning you feel out of place 

You're a disgrace 
      Gm            Fsus4  C    F 
Once more with resigna-----tion 

                                        Am 
The world won't appreciate greatness today 

But there's bills to be paid 
         Gm          Fsus4  C    Gm7 
So you stumble to the sta-----tion 

-Pre-Chorus- 
                                         C* 
You're wearing your most imperceptible frown 
                                              Gm7 
These people are adjectives to your proper noun 
                                                   C* 
As you wash through the streets of this phony old town 

It's wearing you down 


-Chorus- 
                  F 
And yet there you are 
          C                           Dm 
Standing out in your favourite blue dress 
           Fsus4 
Hair is a mess 
             F 
Nevertheless 
     C         Dm  Fsus4 
Cleopatra in Broo--klyn 

F Am

Fsus4 F*   
Gm7 C 

F 

-VERSE- 
                                     Am 
You casually shed poetry like your clothes 

In neat little rows 
         Gm          Fsus4  C    F 
On the floor of my hotel    room 

                                          Am 
You'd always dreamed that you'd be a princess 

But you'd accept less 
         Gm                     Fsus4  C    Gm7 
Holding court holed-up in your be-----droom 


-Pre-Chorus- 
                                          C* 
And I'd say I was Antony begging at your door 
                                                   Gm7 
But I know that you'd laugh and just ask me what for 
                                             C* 
And then just roll your eyes as I fell the floor 

And swear that I'm yours 


-Chorus- 
                  F 
And yet there you are 
          C                           Dm 
Standing out in your favourite blue dress 
           Fsus4 
Hair is a mess 
             F 
Nevertheless 
     C         Dm  Fsus4 
Cleopatra in Broo--klyn 

Fsus4

              F 
Yes there you are 
              C 
A glittering star 
               Dm 
Couldn't care less 
              Fsus4 
Who do you impress 
                         F 
You're my thrift store princess 
     C         Dm  Fsus4 
Cleopatra in Broo--klyn 

F          Am                F       Am 
I'll come find you when the fates dessert you 
Fsus4       F*                Gm7    C      Fmaj7 
I'll still hold you when the Gods dessert you
