D                    D+
People say we got it made
D6                       D7
Don't they know we're so afraid?
G   D
Isolation

We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
Tryin' to change the whole wide world
Isolation

D                    D+
The world is just a little town
D6                  D7
Everybody trying to put us down
G     A        G D
I-I-I-I-I-I-solation

   D              A G
I don't expect you   to understand
A D                   A G
  After you've caused   so much pain
A G               A G
   But then again,   you're not to blame
A G                    A   G            A  D
   You're just a human, a victim of the insane

We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation

The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
I-Isolation
