Intro: A Em D7
A Em D7
I am an American aquarium drinker
A Em D7
I assassin down the avenue
A Em D7
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
A Em D7
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
A Em D7 (2x)
A Em D7
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
A Em D7
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
A Em D7
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
A Em D7
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?
A Em D7 (2x)
A Em D7
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
A Em D7
Take it from the inside, baby hold on tight

You were so right when you said that I've been drinking

I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn

I'd always thought that if I held you tightly

You'd always love me like you did back then

But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
A
I am trying to break your heart
