Elliott Smith Stupidity Tries Lyrics

-the arrangement on the recording is huge, so the instrumental parts (while not 'wrong')
a lot to the imagination
- chord names in parentheses are passing chords which are really short in duration. The
in the chorus just follows the melody, so the bass note is likely all you need.
The somewhat complicated chords:
Got a foot in the door
God knows what for
And he'll cut me down to size
Stupidity tries
Everything here is free
Everything but you and me
This painting never dries
Stupidity tries
Savannah shoulder raised a cheer
Coloring the sky with ash
Because they found some privateer
To sail across the sea of trash
The enemy is within
Don't confuse me with him
The truth is otherwise
Stupidity tries
G# octaves/E F# octaves/E G octaves/E A# octaves/E
M7/
And so I go from floor to floor
Looking for a port of call
Another drunk conquistador
Conquering the governor's ball
Couldn't think of a thing
That I hope tomorrow brings
Oh what a surprise
Stupidity tries
