Am
I'm stranded here in a dream and
there's no ticket back
          C
I feel a cold wind blowin', my future looks black
Am
You left me here and you've taken all my yesterdays
             C
I guess to stand alone is the price that I pay

F                     G
Now look what you've done to me
F/A              G
Because we just disagree
F               G           E/G#         A7sus4
I'm out here alone and it's you that I'm waiting
 Fmaj9/A  G/B A/C# Dsus2
for

Chorus:
Em              Dsus2/F#
Can't go livin without you girl, woe oh oh oh
C                          G/B    Bm11
It doesn't matter what you say or do girl
Em7               Dsus2/F#           C G/B Bm11
Can't go livin with-out you girl, Isolation

I close my eyes and you're dancin'
in the moonlight with me
I try to touch you, but you, you had to get free
I turned around and you're nowhere left in sight
I'm just a lone survivor, you know it ain't right
(it ain't right)

Now look what you've done to me
Because we just disagree (yeah you know)
I'm out here alone and it's you that I'm waiting for

Chorus:
Can't go livin' without you, girl
You know that I'll be waiting here for you, girl
Can't go livin' without you, girl
Isolation

F#m7/A      G/D              A6
I remember holding you just yesterday
           Em7                  D/C     C D/C C C/D
But you're memory is all that I have today
F#m7/A                 G/D       A6
We were talking bout promises we once had made
        Em7                        D/C   C
But you never came back, why'd you run away
      D/C   C C#m7 D#m7 Dsus4/F#
(you ran a-way)

Chorus:
Can't go livin' without you, girl
It doesn't matter what you say or do
Can't go livin' without you, girl
Isolation
Girl, I'm so isolated
Can't go livin' without you, girl, oh
Girl, you know I'm gonna wait for you
Can't go livin' without you, girl
Isolation
