Verse
Amaj7/E D/F#
this is the place
Dm/F
you'll end up when
Amaj7/E
you lose the chase
D/F# Amaj7/E
where you’re dragged against your will
A Amaj7/E D/F#
from a basement on the hill
Amaj7/E D/F#
all anybody knows is
A Amaj7/E A*
you're not like them
D/F# riff1
they hit you in the head
E7
and send you back to bed
A A7 A6
isolation called you and passed a tunnel into a
A#5 A A(b5) A* riff2
briiiight world where you can rule a place of state
Chorus
A Amaj7/E A*
but everybody's scared of this place
A
and staying away
A* E A
your little house on memory lane
the mayor’s name is fear
his voice patrols the pier
by a mountain up of cliche
that advances everyday
the doctor speak in clowns
he rings out loud
he’ll keep the doors and windows shut
and sware
never join a soul again
but isolation chased you ‘til every muscle ached
down the only road it ever takes
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
your little house on memory lane
A E
if it's your decision
E Abm6
to be open about yourself
D/F#
be careful or else
Dm/F
be careful or else
uncomfortable apart
it's all written on my chart
that i take what's given to me
most cooperatively
i do what people say
and lie in bed all day
absolutely horrified
i hope you're satisfied
isolation pushes past something and chained to
a place where suffering’s a game
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
A* E A A(b5)
your little house on memory lane
A* E A E A
your little house on memory lane

any part of this could be wrong, especially the chord names, but overall should be pretty close. its nice to finally contribute to the tab section.
