Exile / Kari Rueslåtten
I Cmjust want to lay myseGmlf down
                                  G#  D#-Bb  
Drink the illusions and let it all float away
ICmnto the river of voiceGms
                                  G#  D#-Bb  
One of them will speak and tell me where to go
I Cmpacked my thoughts anGmd visions
                                  G#  D#-Bb  
headed for the light on the other side
aCmlthough consoling was a myth
tGmhe tunnel was a con
                           G#  D#-Bb  
i ran - but i never turned back
          D#  G#-            Bb   D#  
I have deported my own life
                G#-Bb  
Into this foolish splendour
D#I have brought the beautG#y of a soulBb  
          D#  G#-            Bb  D#  
Cold and dark as the last day
                G#-Bb  
Is the image of the dream
D#That made it alG#l worth-whileBb  
ICmn 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

headed for the light on the other side

although consoling was a myth

the tunnel was a con

That made it all worth-while

In 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
