[Verse 1]
C    Em6       C      G
Everything is exactly right
       C    Em6          C         G
When I walk around here drunk everynight
        Em   F#             G#dim C
With an open container from 7-11
C  Em6       C
In St. Ides Heaven

[Verse 2]
C             Em6           C     G
I've been out haunting the neighborhood
    C       Em6   c          G
And everybody can see I'm no good
         Em      F#      G#dim      C
When I'm walking out between parked cars
        Em6           C    A7
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 from [Verse 1]
C    Em6       C      G
C    Em6       C         G
Em   F#        G#dim C
C    Em6        C

[Verse 3]
C             Em6       C         G
You think you know what brings me down
       C          Em6              C     G
That I want those things you could never allow
    Em     F#          G#dim        C
You see me smiling you think it's a frown
       Em6     C    
Turned upside down

[Verse 4]
C          Em6      C       G
Cause everyone is a fucking pro
         C       Em6          C               G
And they all got answers from trouble they've known
         Em        F#            G#dim                C
And they all gotta say what they should and shouldn't do
       Em6               C    A7
Though they don't have a clue

[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
