v1:

E5      C5         G5           D5
I wanna live all alone in the desert

E5      C5       G5           D5
I wanna be like Georgia O'Keefe

E5      C5            G5         D5
I wanna live on the Upper East Side

E5            C5          G5           D5
And never go down to the street


Chorus:

E5          G5
Splendid Isolation

I don't need no one

E5          G5       D5 D5 D5
Splendid Isolation


v2:

E5      C5          G5     D5
Micheal Jackson in Disneyland

E5            C5             G5      D5
Don't need to share it with nobody else

E5       C5            G5       D5
Lock the gates, Goofy take my hand

E5            C5       G5        D5
And lead me into this world of Self


Chorus:

E5          G5

Bridge:

C5             G5               D5        C5
Don't want to wake up with no body beside me

C5             G5            D5      C5
Don't want to take up with no one new

C5            G5           D5          C5
Don't want nobody coming by without calling first

C5          G5          D5       C5
Don't want nothin' to do with you


v3:

E5          C5        G5          D5
I'm putting tin-foil up on the windows

E5         C5           G5       D5
I'm laying down in the dark to dream

E5      C5       G5         D5
I don't want to see their faces

E5      C5       G5          D5
I don't want to hear their screams


Chorus:

E5          G5
Splendid Isolation

D5               E5
I don't need no one

E5          G5       D5 D5 D5
Splendid Isolation
