Intro: 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? 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 it from the inside, baby hold on tight You were so right when you said that I've been drinking What was I thinking when I said good night? riff 1 e|-----------0------------2-| B|-2p0---0-2----2p0---0-2-0-| G|-----2------------2-------| x2 D|--------------------------| A|-0-------0----0---------0-| E|--------------------------| riff 2 e|-5-------------3---5-1-2---------| B|-2-------------2-----0---1-------| G|---------------------------2---2-| x2 D|---------------------0---0---0---| A|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------| E|---------------------------------| 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 I said hello? riff 2 x2 I'd 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? I am trying to break your heart I am trying to break your heart But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy I am trying to break your heart Disposable Dixie-cup drinking I assassin down the avenue I'm hiding out in the big city blinking What was I thinking when I let go of you? ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
