Memory Lane chords by Elliott Smith

Chords with lyrics

E minorEm     FF        Fm7/Ab       C majorC
This is the place you end up when you lose the chase
       Fm6Fm6         E7E7     A minorAm    Am7/GAm7/G FF
Where you're dragged against your will from a basement on the hill
G+G        FF          C majorC  C/BC/B A minorAm
And all anybody knows is that you're not like them
     DmDm          Esus4Esus4 Em* DmDm
And they kick you in the head
G+G          /A /B
And send you back to bed

C*    Eb5Eb5        Ab5Ab5     Db5Db5  C5C5         B5B5       FF
Isolation pulled you past a tunnel to a bright world where you can make a place to stay
  A minorAm     E minorEm       Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC
And everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away
C#C#  Fmaj7Fmaj7    C6/9   C majorC
Your little house on memory lane

  E minorEm       FF    Fm7/Ab      C majorC
The mayor's name is fear his force patrols the pier
    Fm6Fm6      E7E7     A minorAm   Am7/GAm7/G FF
From a mountain of cliche that advances everyday
  G+G       FF     C majorC   C/BC/B A minorAm
The doctor spoke a cloud, he rained out loud
         DmDm           Esus4Esus4 Em* DmDm
You'll keep your doors and windows shut and swear you'll
G+G          /A /B
Never tell a soul again

C*    Eb5Eb5       Ab5Ab5     Db5Db5  C5C5      B5B5      FF
Isolation pushes you till every muscle aches down the only road it ever takes
  A minorAm     E minorEm       Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC
And everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away
C#C#  Fmaj7Fmaj7    C6/9   A minorAm
Your little house on memory lane

       E/Ab      C/GC/G      D9D9
If it's your decision to be open about yourself
       FF          F minorFm
Be careful or else, be careful or else

  E minorEm      FF       Fm7/Ab    C majorC
I'm comfortable apart, it's all written on my chart
   Fm6Fm6        E7E7   A minorAm  Am7/GAm7/G FF
And i take what's given me most cooperatively
 G+G       FF       C majorC  C/BC/B A minorAm
I do what people say and lie in bed all day
  DmDm        Esus4Esus4 Em* DmDm
Absolutely horrified
G+G         /A /B
I hope you're satisfied

C*    Eb5Eb5       Ab5Ab5        Db5Db5   C5C5        B5B5      FF
Isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt and shame to place where suffering is just a game
  A minorAm     E minorEm       Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC
And everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away
C#C#  Fmaj7Fmaj7    C6/9   A minorAm  Am7/GAm7/G  D9D9  (D9D9 riff)
Your little house on memory lane
   FF      C6/9   C majorC  /G  C majorC
Your little house on memory lane
