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

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

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