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

C#m B G#m
He learned to walk and talk on time
C#m B E
But never cared much to be held
C#m B G#m
And steadily he would decline
C#m 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   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 temporary catatonic
B
Madman on occasion
A
When will he break out
         E       B
Of his solitary shell

( C#  B  E  D#  B )

C#m B G#m
Hem struggled to get through his day
C# B E
He was helplessly behind
C#m B G#m
He poured himself onto the page
C#m 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  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
