Memory Lane chords by Elliott Smith

Em     F        Fm7/Ab       C
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

C*    Eb5        Ab5     Db5  C5         B5       F
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
  Am     Em       Fmaj7       C
And everybody's scared of this place and stayin' away
C#  Fmaj7    C6/9   Am
Your little house on memory lane

       E/Ab      C/G      D9
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

C*    Eb5       Ab5        Db5   C5        B5      F
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
C#  Fmaj7    C6/9   Am  Am7/G  D9  (D9 riff)
Your little house on memory lane
   F      C6/9   C  /G  C
Your little house on memory lane
