Tuned a full step down

Intro: Em* - D* - C* - A7

 Vs1
   C*    C#/D      C*    G*
   Everything is exactly right when I 
   C*    C#/D       C*          G (320003@1)   
   Walk around here drunk every night
           Em (022000@1)    F# (244322@1)        C#/D   C*
   With an open container from Seven Eleven
      C#/D       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
           C#/D         A7 (x02020@1)  With my head full of stars

 Chorus
   C (x32010@1)  D (xx0232@1)   Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)  High on amphetamines
                 C (x32010@1)   D (xx0232@1)   Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)  The moon is a light bulb breaking
             C (x32010@1)   D (xx0232@1)  Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)  It'll go around with anyone
                     C (x32010@1)  D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)  But it won't come down for anyone

   [Solo - Just the Chords Essentially]

 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
   Cause everyone is 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
   Though they don't have a clue


 Chorus
   C (x32010@1)  D (xx0232@1)   Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)  High on amphetamines
                 C (x32010@1)   D (xx0232@1)   Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)  The moon is a light bulb breaking
             C (x32010@1)   D (xx0232@1)  Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)  It'll go around with anyone
                     C (x32010@1)  D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)  But it won't come down for anyone
   But it won't come down for anyone
   And I won't come down for anyone
