Memory Lane chords by Elliott Smith

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

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

Your little house on memory lane

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

Your little house on memory lane
