Am G D

Never let on the ghosts all around you

Am G D

Were directing you

To your end

G D

To your peace

Am G D

To your release

Sadness fills the air

G D

Now your tenure is done

Am G D

Oh you're a solitary one

Am G D

Oh, solitary one

Your sisters beg you

G D

Come outside and have some fun

You're locked up inside

G D

My solitary one

Am G D

Am G

Gardens full of aching trees

Shaking leaves

Am G D

Wither and retreat

Am G D

Oh you're a solitary one

Am G D

Oh, solitary one

You've got your books

C E

You've got your shows

But who you really are

C E

Nobody knows

Am G D

You just carry on

'til you're gone

G D

...solitary one

Am G D

Oh, solitary one

Am G D

The wolves are in the yard rolling 'round in the sun

Am G D

You're locked up inside my solitary one

Am G D
