[Verse 1]
C    Em6       C      G
Everything is exactly right

       C     Em6         C          G
When I walk around here drunk every night

        Em      F#          G#dim  C
With an open container from seven eleven

   Em6      C
In St. Ides Heaven
[Verse 2]
C        Em6          C       G
Been out haunting the neighborhood

    C    Em6      C          G
And everybody can see I'm no good

    Em      F#     G#dim       C
I'm walkin' out between parked cars

        Em6          C     A7
With my head full of stars
[Chorus 1]
C      D     Em  G
  High on amphetamines

              C     D    Em  G
The moon is a light bulb breaking

          C     D    Em G
It'll go around with anyone

                  C    D   Em G
But it won't come down for anyone
[Interlude] (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 smile and 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 you should and shouldn't do

            Em6          C    A7
Though they don't have a clue
[Chorus 2]
C      D     Em  G
  High on amphetamines

              C     D    Em  G
The moon is a light bulb breaking

          C     D    Em G
It'll go around with anyone

                  C    D   Em G
But it won't come down for anyone

                 C    D   Em G
And I won't come down for anyone
