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

Now it's a brilliant mistake

F# C#
She said that she was working for the G#BC News
B F# C#
It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use
F# C#
Her perfume was unspeakable, it lingered in the air
B F# C#
Like her artificial laughter like her mementos of affairs
[Verse 4]
B
"Oh" I said "I see you know him"
B E B
"Isn't that very fortunate for you"
And she showed me his calling card

He came third or fourth and there were more than one or two

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

Now I'm a brilliant mistake
