Splendid Isolation chords

Splendid Isolation

• D

INTRO: D Db B Db
       D E B Db

VERSE:
D A G
He's thinking of the hungry rats
Inside his stomach and he knows that
Nothing ever changes anyway

He can see himself there
He knows that look, it's called despair
His father taught him to wear it well

So he put his ear to the door of his youth
And he heard a groundswell of remorse now


CHORUS:
           Bm          D
There's no splendid isolation
         E            G
For the abandoned generation

        F#m D B G
It gets hard 
F#m    F#m D B G
to maintain
F#m      F#m          D      B
When the brightest of shells
G                     F#m
Weather and fade anyway
F#m         D  B  G                   F#m
Do what you can before it's too late

I spent a lifetime searching    with tired eyes
          Bm              OPEN  G  F#m              Bm
I had the best intentions            but they went away*
