Verse 1: 
C5    C#?Add7 C5      G5
Everything is exactly right
       C5    C#?Add7    C5         G5
When I walk around here drunk everynight
        E5   F#5             E5  C5
With an open container from 7-11
C5  C#?Add7 C5
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:
C5    D5     E5   G5
High on amphetamines
G5              C5    D5    E5   G5
The moon is a light bulb breaking
G5        C5      D5    E5   G5
It'll go around with anyone
G5                 C5    D5   E5  G5
But it won't come down for anyone

Interlude:  (The bit with no singing) Played louder and with the same rhythm
from Verse 1                                               

C5    C#?Add7 C5      G5

       C5    C#?Add7    C5         G5

        E5   F#5             E5  C5
