I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

by Wilco, arr. by JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound

[ use capo 2, A/Em/D chord shapes ]

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

/ B - F#m E /

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

{refrain}

I am trying to break your heart

But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy

I am trying to break your heart

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 think that...

{refrain}

[ man, I don't know where this bridge comes from ]

I'm going away, and you can't look for me

And where I'm going, you cannot come

No one's every going to take my knife from me

I laid it down, a ghost is born, a ghost is born

/ ?? /

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

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

{refrain}

Because I still love you
