Elliott Smith – Stupidity Tries (Guitar)

E            E7
Got a foot in the door

A              Am
God knows what for

C#m     E      B        D#7/A#
And he'll cut me down to size

A            C  B
Stupidity tries

E              E7
Everything here is free

A                  Am
Everything but you and me

C#m  E     B      D#7/A#
This painting never dries

A       C    B (C)
Stupidity tries

C#m      C           G          B
Savannah shoulder raised a cheer

C  C/B (A) G    B      (C)
Coloring the sky with ash

C#m    E        F#           A
Because they found some privateer

C  C/B    (A)      G           B
To sail across the sea of trash

E            E7
The enemy is within

A              Am
Don't confuse me with him

C#m     E      B        D#7/A#
The truth is otherwise

A            C        D
Stupidity tries

C#m      C           G          B
And so I go from floor to floor

C  C/B (A) G    B      (C)
Looking for a port of call

C#m    E        F#           A
Another drunk conquistador

C  C/B (A) G    B
Conquering the governor's ball

E             E7
Couldn't think of a thing

A                Am
That I hope tomorrow brings

C#m  E     B      D#7/A#
Oh what a surprise

A            C        D
