[Verse 1]
G D
He thought he was the King of America
C G D
Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine
G D
Now I try hard not to become hysterical
C G D
But I'm not sure if I am laughing or crying
[Verse 2]
C
I wish that I could push a button
C F C
And talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this hurtin' feeling disappear
F Em
Like it was common sense
[Chorus]
G F G F
It was a fine idea at the time
G Em C D
Now it's a brilliant mistake

[Verse 3]
G D
She said that she was working for the ABC News
C G D
It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use
G D
Her perfume was unspeakable, it lingered in the air
C G D
Like her artificial laughter like her mementos of affairs
[Verse 4]
C
"Oh" I said "I see you know him"
C F C
"Isn't that very fortunate for you"
And she showed me his calling card
F Em
He came third or fourth and there were more than one or two
[Chorus]
G F G F
He was a fine idea at the time
G Em C D
Now he's a brilliant mistake

[Verse 5]
G D
He thought he was the King of America
C G D
But it was just a boulevard of broken dreams
G D
A trick they do with mirrors and with chemicals
C
The words of love in whispers
G D
And the axe of love in screams
[Verse 6]
C
I wish that I could push a button
C F C
And talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this lovin' feeling disappear
F Em
Like it was common sense
[Chorus]
G F G F
I was a fine idea at the time
G Em C D
Now I'm a brilliant mistake
