St. Ides Heaven
Elliott Smith
Elliott Smith
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
Walk around here drunk every night
Em F# 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
With my head full of stars
Chorus
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
[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 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
But it won't come down for anyone
And I won't come down for anyone
Outro- C - A7 - C
