Vs1
C* G6 C* G5*
Everyone is exactly right when I
C* G6 C* B6
Walk around here drunk every night
E5 F#5 C+5 C
With an open container from 7-11
G6 C*
In St. Ides heaven

Vs2
I been out haunting the neighborhood
And everybody can see I'm no good
When I'm walking out between parked cars
G6 A7
With my head full of stars

Chorus
C* D* G5 G*
High on amphetamines
C* D* G5 G*
The moon is a light bulb breaking
C* D* G5 G*
It'll go around with anyone
C* D* G5 G*
But it won't come down for anyone

SOLO

Vs3
You think you know what brings me down
That I want those things you could never allow
You see me smiling you think it's a frown
Turned upside down

Vs4
'Cos everyone's a fucking pro
And they all got answers from trouble they've known
And they all gotta say what they should and shouldn't do
G6 A7
Though they don't have a clue

Chorus
C* D* G5 G*
And I won't come down for anyone

That's it, I think. Thanks Scott for the names of the chords. They are
really weird.
