Memory Lane (Lyrics) - Elliott Smith Chords

_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ [B] _
[Cm] _ _ [E] _ _ [D#] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] This [A] is the place [C] you end up when [E] you lose the chase
[F#] Where you're dragged [G#] against your will [C#m] from a basement [A] on the hill
[G#m] And all anybody [A] knows [E] is you're not [C#m] like them
[F#] And they kick you in [C#] the [B] head and send [G#m] you back to bed
[E] _ Isolation pulls you [D#] past the tunnel to [F#] a [E] bright world
But [A#] you can make a place [A] to [C#] stay
[C#m] But _ [G#m] everybody's scared of [C#m] this place and [E] staying away
[C#m] Your little house [A]
[E] on memory lane
_ [G#m] The mirror's name [A] is [Am] fear, this force [E] patrols the pier
From [A] a mountain of [G#] cliché [C#m] that advances [A] every day
[B]
The doctor spoke [A] a cloud, [E] he rained [C#m] out loud
You'll keep [F#] your doors and [C#] windows shut and [B] swear
You'll never show a soul again
[E] But isolation pushes [G] you till every [D] muscle [E] aches
Down [A#] the only road it [A] ever _ [C#] takes
[C#m] But [G#m] everybody's scared [E] of this place and staying away
[C#m] Your little [B] house on [C#m] memory lane
If it's [G#] your decision to [E] be open [F#] about yourself
_ Be [A] careful or else, be careful [Am] or _ else _
_ _ _ [G#] I'm comfortable [A] apart, [C] it's all written [E] on my chart
[F#] And I take what's [G#] given me [C#m] most _ [A] cooperatively
[B] I do what [A] people say and lie in [C#m] bed all day
[F#] Absolutely _ [C#] horrified, [B] _ I hope you're [E] satisfied
[G] Isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt [F#] and shame
[E] To a place [A#] where suffering is [A] just a game
[C#] But [C#m] _ [G#m] everybody's scared [E] of this place and staying [C#] away
Your little [B] house on [C#m] memory lane
_ _ _ [A#] _ Your _ [G#] [E] little house on memory lane
