A  Em D7

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
A                       Em           D7
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
A                       Em          D7
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
A
This is not a joke so please stop smiling
A
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt

[Verse 3]
A                             Em          D7
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
A                         Em            D7
Take you from the inside (baby) hold on tight
A                               Em         D7
You were so right when you said I've been drinking
A                           Em        D7
What was I thinking when we said good night

[Verse 4]
A                         Em          D7
I want to hold you in the bible black predawn
A                    Em      D7
You're quite a quiet domino bury me now
A                             Em              D7
Take off your band aid cuz I don't believe in Touchdowns
A                           Em    D7
What was I thinking when we said hello

[Verse 5]
A                          Em       D7
I always thought that if I held you tightly
A                        Em                 D7
You would always love me like you did back then
A                         Em           D7
Then I fell asleep in the city kept blinking
A                           Em          D7
What was I thinking when I let you back in


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

[Verse 6]
A                 Em       D7
Disposable dixie cup drinker
A                   Em      D7
I assassin down the avenue
A                           Em         D7
I've been hiding out in the big city blinking
A                           Em        D7
What was I thinking when I let go of you
