[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

Gm7 C

[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

You wait by the Brooklyn bridge for your king to return

C Dm Fsus4
Cleopatra in Broo--klyn

Yes there you are
C
A glittering star

Couldn't care less

Who do you impress

You're my thrift store princess

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
