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

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

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

I was a fine idea at the time

Now I'm a brilliant mistake
