[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# Fm
Like it was common sense
[Chorus]
G# F# G# F#
It was a fine idea at the time
G# Fm C# D#
Now it's a brilliant mistake

[Verse 3]
G# D#
She said that she was working for the A#BC 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# Fm
He came third or fourth and there were more than one or two
[Chorus]

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# Fm
Like it was common sense
[Chorus]

I was a fine idea at the time

Now I'm a brilliant mistake
