capo 2 — sounds 2 semitones higherIntro
(fade in)
(drums enter)
Verse 1
I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you
A Em D (x2)
Verse 2
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt
A Em D (x2)
Verse 3
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take me from the inside, baby hold on tight
You were so right when you said I've been drinking
What was I thinking when we said good night
A Em D (x2)
Verse 4
I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now
Take off your band-aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when we said hello
NOT RELATIVE TO THE CAPO. 1st fret+ the real 1st fret, not the 1st fret after the capo.

Verse 5
I always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep in the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in
Bridge
N.C.
I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
But still I would be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart
A Em D (x4)
Verse 6
Disposable Dixie cup drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you
