Intro: C - Em (4x)
              
G                                  Em
They say I'm too young to love you
                         C
I don't know what I need
                              
They think I don't understand
    G                  F         G
The Freedomland of the seventies
                                Em
I think I'm too cool to know ya
                                C
You say I'm like the ice I freeze

I'm churning out novels like
     G           F       Em
Beat poetry on Amphetamines

     C         Em
I say... 
     F
I say...


         C                   G
Well, my boyfriend's in the band
         F                       C
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
         F              C
I've got feathers in my hair
       F            Em
I get down to Beat poetry
        C                G
And my jazz collection's rare
       F              C
I can play almost anything
      F           C
I'm a Brooklyn baby
      F          Em
I'm a Brooklyn baby


C|- Em (x2)


G                                  Em
They say I'm too young to love you
                             C
They say I'm too dumb to see

They judge me like a picture book
       G                F             G
By the colors like they forgot to read
                                  Em
I think we're like fire and water
                                    C
I think we're like the wind and sea

You're burning up, I'm cooling down
       Am
You're up, I'm down
       Asus2        Em
You're blind, I see
           C       Em
But I'm free
         F
I'm free

C                               Em
I'm talking about my generation
                                G
Talking about that newer nation

And if you don't like it
        Am   Bm  D        Em
You can beat it, beat it, baby
C                                Em
You never liked the way I said it
                                    G
If you don't get it, then forget it
                                  Am   Bm    D     (C)
Cause I don't have to fucking explain it

       F                  Em
I get high on hydroponic weed
        C                G

          F              C
But he's not as cool as me
