Solitary Shell

• C#

Intro: C#  B  D#  B G# C#  B  E  D# B } x4 

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 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 
        F#m                    A 
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 temporary catatonic 
B 
Madman on occasion 
A 
When will he break out 
         E       B 
Of his solitary shell 

Intro 

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 
        F#m                     A 
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
