Verse 1 C G
Here in my room in splendid isola.....tion
Alone in the gloom in splendid iso[C]la.....ti[G]on

So here am [G]I in splendid iso[F]la.......[C]............[G].tion
Verse 2 C G
Falling away in splendid isola.....tion
I'm hoping I'll stay in splendid iso[C]la.....ti[G]on

So here am [G]I in splendid iso[F]la.......[C]............[G].tion
Verse 3
I'm [F]floating in a sea of my sub[G]conscious thoughts
The [F]skeletons are crawling through my [G]closet walls
[F]No-one ever sees me I don't [G]make a sound
And [C]I don't know what I'm [F]gonna do [G]now
That [F]motherless itch has got the [G]best of me
Tran[F]scending the things that I will [G]never be
But [F]all along hallucinating [G]life somehow
I [C]still don't know what I'm [F]gonna do [G]now

Verse 4 F G
Pressure starts to push me through my loving daze,
For a [F]moment then I thought I'd lost my [G]wicked ways
It's [F]not that I'm a leper when my [G]mind allows,
And [C]I don't know what I'm [F]gonna do [G]now
But [F]Lennon is a memory in a [G]student brain,
[F]Gripping thought pavilions guilt in [G]freedoms chains
Vir[F]ginical construction makes the [G]masses wow
But [C]I don't know what I'm [G]gonna do now
Yeah but [F]I see the moon the stars and [G]hemisphere
[F]I've seen the future but it [G]don't look clear
The [F]past is re-appearing on my f[G]evered brow
And [C]I don't know what I'm [G]gonna do now
No [C]I don't know what I'm [G]gonna do now
No [C]I still don't know what I'm [G]gonna do [F]now no no[G]
In splendid isolation ah this is splendid isolation
