Verse 1:
C C#dimAdd7 C G
Everything is exactly right
C C#dimAdd7 C G
When I walk around here drunk everynight
Em F# Em/D C
With an open container from 7-11
C C#dimAdd7 C
In St. Ides Heaven

I've been out haunting the neighborhood
And everybody can see I'm no good (Same Chords for this verse)
When I'm walking out between parked cars
With my head full of stars

Chorus:
C D Em G
High on amphetamines
G C D Em G
The moon is a light bulb breaking
G C D Em G
It'll go around with anyone
G C D Em G
But it won't come down for anyone

Interlude: (The bit with no singing) Played louder and with the same rhythm
