Em          F               Fm7/Ab             C 
This is the place you end up when you lose the chase 
             Fm6                  E7          Am       Am7/G  F 
Where you're dragged against your will from a basement on the hill 
G               F                    C   C/B  Am 
And all anybody knows is that you're not like them 
         Dm                   Esus4  Em*  Dm 
And they kick you in the head 
G                    /A /B 
And send you back to bed 

C*        Eb5               Ab5         Db5    C5                  B5              F 
Isolation pulled you past a tunnel to a bright world where you can make a place to stay 
    Am          Em             Fmaj7             C 
And everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away 
C#   Fmaj7        C6/9      C 
Your little house on memory lane 

    Em              F        Fm7/Ab            C 
The mayor's name is fear his force patrols the pier 
       Fm6            E7         Am     Am7/G  F 
From a mountain of cliche that advances everyday 
    G              F         C      C/B Am 
The doctor spoke a cloud, he rained out loud 
                 Dm                     Esus4 Em* Dm 
You'll keep your doors and windows shut and swear you'll 
G                   /A /B 
Never tell a soul again 

C*        Eb5             Ab5          Db5   C5            B5           F 
Isolation pushes you till every muscle aches down the only road it ever takes 
    Am          Em             Fmaj7             C 
And everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away

Your little house on memory lane 

             E/Ab           C/G            D9 
If it's your decision to be open about yourself 
              F                   Fm 
Be careful or else, be careful or else 

    Em           F              Fm7/Ab        C 
I'm comfortable apart, it's all written on my chart 
      Fm6               E7      Am   Am7/G  F 
And i take what's given me most cooperatively 
  G              F              C   C/B Am 
I do what people say and lie in bed all day 
    Dm               Esus4 Em* Dm 
Absolutely horrified 
G                  /A /B 
I hope you're satisfied

Isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt and shame to place where suffering is just a game 
    Am          Em             Fmaj7             C 
And everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away 
C#   Fmaj7        C6/9      Am    Am7/G   D9   (D9 riff) 
Your little house on memory lane

Your little house on memory lane
