	A	Em	D
	I am an American	aquarium	drinker

	A	Em	D
	I assassin down the	avenue

	A	Em	D
	I'm hiding out in the	big city	blinking

	What was I thinking when I	let go of	you

	A
	[ Em D] x 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] x 2

I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming

Take it from the inside, baby, hold on tight

You were so right when you said I'd been drinking

What was I thinking when we said goodnight

Riff 1 x 2

Riff 2 x 2

I want to hold you in the bible-black pre-dawn

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

Riff 2 x 2

I always thought that if I held you tightly

You'd always love me like you did back then

Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking

What was I thinking when I let you back in

(palm mute during this next verse in a steady rhythm)

I am trying to break your heart

And still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy

I am trying to break your heart

	A
	[ Em D] x 4

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

Riff 1:

B --0h2p0--0--2--5~-----0h2p0--0--2--3~----------------------------------|
G -----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D -----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A -----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Riff 2:

----5------2/3-----3-----2-----------------------------------------------|

----2-------2------2-----2-----------------------------------------------|
----0-------0------0-----0-----------------------------------------------|

You have to listen to the recording to figure out Riff 2's strumming pattern, and I know

I'm missing some notes, but it still sounds pretty close. Also, he strums the A and D

in a steady rhythm like in the verses between chord changes during the riff.

Enjoy!
