-Verse 1:

Em Em F F Fm7 Fm7 C C
This is the place you end up when you lose the chase

Fm6 Fm6 E7 E7
Where you're dragged against your will

Am Am F F
From a basement on the hill

G G F F
And all anybody knows is you're

C C C/B C/B Am Am
Not like them

Dm Dm A A G G
And they kick you in the head

>A >B
And send you back to bed

-Pre-Chorus 1:

Isolation pulls you past a tunnel to a bright

World where you can make a place to stay


-Chorus:

# Play intro again, go to C6 C6/9 chord instead of E E at the end

But everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away

Your little house on Memory Lane


-Verse 2:

Em Em F F Fm7 Fm7 C C
The mayor's name is fear, his force patrols the pier

Fm6 Fm6' E7 E7 Am Am F F
From a mountain of cliche that advances every day

G G F F C C C/B C/B Am Am
The doctor spoke a cloud, he rained out loud

Dm Dm A A
Keep your doors and windows shut and swear you'll

G G >A A >B B
Never tell a soul again but


-Pre-chorus 2:

Isolation pushes you till every muscle aches

Down the only road it ever takes


-Chorus:

But everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away

Your little house on Memory Lane


-Bridge:

Am Am' E/Ab E/Ab C/G C/G D9 D9
If it's your decision to be open about yourself

F'
Be careful or else

Fm Fm
Be careful or else


-Verse 3:

Em Em F F Fm7 Fm7 C C
I'm comfortable apart, it's all written on my chart

Fm6 Fm6' E7 E7 Am Am F F
And I take what's given me most cooperatively

G G F F C C C/B C/B Am Am
I do what people say and lie in bed all day

Dm Dm A A G G >A A >B B
Absolutely horrified, I hope you're satisfied


-Pre-chorus 3:

Isolation pushes past self-hatred guilt and shame

To a place where suffering is just a game


-Chorus:

But everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away

Your little house on Memory Lane
