Verse:
D          A             Gadd9
I really wish it never came to this
D          A             Gadd9
I wish it didn't feel like I was starting over again
D          A             Gadd9
I'm reeling in a line without a fish, and every day
D          A             Gadd9
I wake up and hear the pounding drum of failure in my head

D        A          Gadd9
Am I really doing nothing, or am I reaching out to something?
D        A          Gadd9
Someone waiting to catch me on the other side
D        A          Gadd9
Am I delaying the inevitable?
D        A          D
Am I running out of time?

Chorus:
Gadd9       A         Bm7                 A
You cannot isolate me past the walls that I have built
Gadd9               A                    Bm7            A
So send your condolence cards, thinking I've been held against my will
Gadd9        A                 Bm7               A
It's better; you believing I'm fighting for some greater good, I know
Gadd9        A                 Bm7               A
I know that I believe in nothing and that I like being alone

Verse:
D          A              Gadd9
Four hours in the target parking lot
D                    A            Gadd9
Contemplating mental brands still burning hot
            D            A           Gadd9
I hope that one day the weight of my body in these seats
D      A      Gadd9
Will feel just right

         D        A        Gadd9
But for now, the AC's always too cold
         D           A           Gadd9
And the heat in winter melts the skin off of my bones
         D           A           Gadd9
And I've started to ignore the check engine light
         D           A           D
In hopes that a breakdown might give me a sign, oh

Chorus:
Gadd9       A         Bm7                 A
You cannot isolate me past the walls that I have built
Gadd9               A                    Bm7            A
So send your condolence cards, thinking I've been held against my will
Gadd9        A                 Bm7               A
It's better, you believing I'm fighting for some greater good, I know
Gadd9        A                 Bm7               A
I know that I believe in nothing and that I like being alone

Bridge:
Gadd9        A     Bm7  A
And there is bliss in solitary
Gadd9  A   Bm7  A
Isn't it sobering?
Gadd9        A     Bm7  A
And there is bliss in solitary
Gadd9  A   Bm7  A
Isn't it sobering?
Gadd9        A     Bm7  A
And there is fear in solitary
Gadd9  A   Bm7  A
Isn't it sobering?
Gadd9        A     Bm7  A
And there is pain in solitary
Gadd9  A    D
Isn't it sobering?
