Exile

I[Cm] just want to lay myse[Gm]lf down
D[Ab]rink the illusions and let it all f[Eb]loa[Bb]t away
I[Cm]nto the river of voice[Gm]s
O[Ab]ne of them will speak and tell me w[Eb]her[Bb]e to go
I[Cm] packed my thoughts an[Gm]d visions
h[Ab]eaded for the light on the other si[Eb]de [Bb]
a[Cm]lthough consoling was a myth
t[Gm]he tunnel was a con
i[Ab] ran - but i never turned ba[Eb]ck [Bb]

[Eb]I have depor[Ab]ted[Bb] my own life  [Eb]
Into this foolis[Ab]h s[Bb]plendour
[Eb]I have brought the beaut[Ab]y of a soul       [Bb]
[Eb]Cold and dar[Ab]k a[Bb]s the last day[Eb]
Is the image of [Ab]the[Bb] dream
[Eb]That made it al[Ab]l worth-while    [Bb]
I[Cm]n exile

if there is a sign out there hiding
come to me now or forever hold your peace
you'll find me in my room in the guesthouse
riding clouds that are hard to please
when there is a fight i will be there
it feels so good to do what one should not do
and i play i gamble and stay
i look - but i never turn back
