He thought he was the King of America
E B F#
Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine

Now I try hard not to become hysterical
E B F#
But I'm not sure if I am laughing or crying
[Verse 2]

I wish that I could push a button
E A E
And talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this hurtin' feeling disappear

Like it was common sense
[Chorus]

It was a fine idea at the time

Now it's a brilliant mistake

B F#
She said that she was working for the C#BC News
E B F#
It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use

Her perfume was unspeakable, it lingered in the air
E B F#
Like her artificial laughter like her mementos of affairs
[Verse 4]

He thought he was the King of America
E B F#
But it was just a boulevard of broken dreams
B F#
C# trick they do with mirrors and with chemicals
E
The words of love in whispers
B F#
And the axe of love in screams
[Verse 6]

I wish that I could push a button
E A E
And talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this lovin' feeling disappear

Like it was common sense

Now I'm a brilliant mistake
