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

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
