Splendid Isolation

Warren Zevon


Tom: Em

Em      C         G           D
I wanna live all alone in the desert
Em      C       G           D
I wanna be like Georgia O'Keefe
Em      C            G         D
I wanna live on the Upper East Side
Em            C          G           D
And never go down in the street


[Chorus]

Em          G
Splendid Isolation
D               Em
I don't need no one
Em          G       D Dsus D
Splendid Isolation


[Verse 2]

Em      C          G     D
Micheal Jackson in Disneyland
Em            C             G      D
Don't have to share it with nobody else
Em       C            G       D
Lock the gates, Goofy take my hand
Em          C           G        D
And lead me through the world of Self


[Chorus]

Em          G
Splendid Isolation
D               Em
I don't need no one
Em          G       D Dsus D
Splendid Isolation


[Bridge]

C             D            Em
Don't want to wake up with no one beside me
C             D            Em
Don't want to take up with nobody new
C             D            Em
Don't want nobody coming by without calling first
C          D          C       D
Don't want nothin' to do with you

[Verse 3]

Em          C        G          D
I'm putting tin-foil up on the windows
Em         C           G       D
I'm laying down in the dark to dream
Em      C       G         D
I don't want to see their faces
Em      C       G         D
I don't want to hear them scream


[Chorus] 2x

Em          G
Splendid Isolation
D               Em
I don't need no one
Em          G       D Dsus D
