Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  am an American aquarium drinker
I  assassin down the avenue
I'm  hiding out in the big  city blinking
What  was I thinking when I let  go of you
 Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
 Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
 This is not a joke so please stop smiling
 What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt
 I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
 Take you from the inside, baby hold on tight
 You were so right when you said I've been drinking
 What was I thinking when we said good night
 I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
 You're quite a quiet, domino, bury me now
 Take off your band-aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns
 What was I thinking when we said hello
 I always thought that if I held you tightly
 You'd always love me like you did back then
 Then I fell asleep in the city kept blinking
 What was I thinking when I let you back in
I  am trying to break  your heart
I  am trying to break  your heart
But  still I would be lying if I said  it wasn't easy
I  am trying to break  your heart
 Disposable Dixie cup drinker
 I assassin down the avenue
 I've been hiding out in the big city blinking
 What was I thinking when I let go of you
 (Loves you)
 I'm the man who loves you
