| B | F#m | E | |
| I am an American | aquarium | drinker |
| B | F#m | E | |
| I assassin down the | avenue |
| B | F#m | E | |
| I'm hiding out in the | big city | blinking |
| B | F#m | E | |
| What was I thinking when I | let go of | you |
| 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 |
| I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming |
| Take you 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| B | F#m | E | |
| I am trying to | break your | heart |
| B | F#m | E | |
| I am trying to | break your | heart |
| B | F#m | E | |
| But still I would be lying if I | said it wasn't | easy |
| B | F#m | E | |
| I am trying to | break your | heart |
| Disposable Dixie cup drinker |
| I assassin down the avenue |
| I've been hiding out in the big city blinking |
| What was I thinking when I let go of you |
| (Loves you) |
| I'm the man who loves you |
