Intro |C# B E Emaj7 G#min6|x8

C# B G#
       He seemed no different from the rest
C# B E
       Just a healthy normal boy
C# B G#
       His mama always did her best
C# B E
       And he was his daddy's pride and joy

C# B G#
      He learned to walk and talk on time
C# B E
      But never cared much to be held
C# B G#
      And steadily he would decline
C# B E
      Into his solitary shell.

B                    A               E
As a boy, he was considered somewhat odd.
B                              A     E
Kept to himself most of the time.
B                        A               E
He would daydream in and out of his own world,
       A                       B
But in every other way, he was fine.

       E
He's a Monday morning lunatic
   B
Disturbed from time to time.
  A
Lost within himself
       E        B
In his solitary shell.

E
Temporary catatonic
 B
Madman on occasion
     A
When will he break out
       E        B         E
Of his solitary shell?

|C# B E Emaj7 G#min6|x4

C# B G#
      He struggled to get through his day
C# B E
      He was helplessly behind
C# B G#
      He poured himself onto the page
C# B E
      Writing for hours at a time.

B                          A         E
As a man, he was a danger to himself.
B                          A         E
Fearful and sad most of the time.
B                          A         E
He was drifting in and out of sanity.
       A                       B
But in every other way, he was fine.

       E
He's a Monday morning lunatic
   B
Disturbed from time to time
  A
Lost within himself
       E        B
In his solitary shell

E
A momentary maniac
     B
with casual delusions.
A
When will he be let out
       E        B
Of his solitary shell?
