Verse 1:
G             F             G
In fear every day, every evening
G             F           G
He calls her aloud from above
G          F             G
Carefully watched for a reason
G             F          G
Painstaking devotion and love
G              F            G
Surrendered to self preservation
G               F            G
From others who care for themselves
G                F             G
A blindness that touches perfection
G                   F        G
But hurts just like anything else

Chorus:
B  A  G  F    G
         Isolation

B  A  G  F    G
         Isolation

Verse 2:
G          F                  G
Mother I tried please believe me
G             F            G
I'm doing the best that I can
G                  F                G
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
G                  F        G
I'm ashamed of the person I am

Chorus:
B  A  G  F    G

Verse 3:
G                F            G
But if you could just see the beauty
G                    F         G
These things I could never describe
G                 F            G
These pleasures a wayward distraction
G          F           G
This is my one lucky prize
