Intro |A E B E|x8

A E B
     He seemed no different from the rest
A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
    Just a healthy normal boy
A E B
      His mama always did her best
A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
    And he was his daddy's pride and joy

A E B
      He learned to walk and talk on time
A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
    But never cared much to be held
A E B
      And steadily he would decline
A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
    Into his solitary shell.

B (x2444x@1)                  A (x02220@1)             EAs (022100@1)a boy, he was considered somewhat odd.
B (x2444x@1)                  A (x02220@1)             EKept (022100@1)to himself most of the time.
B (x2444x@1)                  A (x02220@1)             EHe (022100@1)would daydream in and out of his own world,
       A (x02220@1)                     BBut (x2444x@1)in every other way, he was fine.

       EHe's (022100@1)a Monday morning lunatic
   BDisturbed (x2444x@1)from time to time.
  ALost (x02220@1)within himself
       E (022100@1)      BIn (x2444x@1)his solitary shell.

ETemporary (022100@1)catatonic
 BMadman (x2444x@1)on occasion
     AWhen (x02220@1)will he break out
       E (022100@1)      B (x2444x@1)       EOf (022100@1)his solitary shell?

|A E B E|x4

A E B
      He struggled to get through his day
A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
 He was helplessly behind
A E B
      He poured himself onto the page
A (x02220@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
 Writing for hours at a time.

B (x2444x@1)                        A (x02220@1)       EAs (022100@1)a man, he was a danger to himself.
B (x2444x@1)                        A (x02220@1)       EFearful (022100@1)and sad most of the time.
B (x2444x@1)                        A (x02220@1)       EHe (022100@1)was drifting in and out of sanity.
       A (x02220@1)                     BBut (x2444x@1)in every other way, he was fine.

       EHe's (022100@1)a Monday morning lunatic
   BDisturbed (x2444x@1)from time to time
  ALost (x02220@1)within himself
       E (022100@1)      BIn (x2444x@1)his solitary shell

EA (022100@1)momentary maniac
     Bwith (x2444x@1)casual delusions.
AWhen (x02220@1)will he be let out
       E (022100@1)      BOf (x2444x@1)his solitary shell?
