    A
Her language was a perfect phrase

    C#m
Her playful prose followed me for days

F#m
Down the alleyways of my desire

         D             Dm
To their final resting place
[Verse 2]
     A
In a vacation town where I lived year round

    C#m
She migrated here with the summer crowds

       F#m
And we fell in love under impossible smiles

         D                     Dm
Life was perfect if just for a little while
[Pre-Chorus]
         Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

      D
Hello exile
[Chorus]
      A                  E
And a thousand years may come and go

       F#m          D
We may never meet another soul

A                         F#m             E
Here on our own island of Elba in the Poconos

         Bm       D (hold)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Hello exile A C#m F#m D Dm [Verse 3]
       A
And we bathed in the sun
Cut our jeans into shorts
   C#m
Outstared every star in the sky

          F#m
Under the cover of nowhere the present was a present

          D                      Dm
It looked beautiful on you every night
[Verse 4]
       A
But we knew it would end yeah we knew it all along

         C#m
It was a future never reconciled

           F#m                                             Dm
It's as if letting your shackled heart feel loved was more difficult than total denial
[Pre-Chorus]
         Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

      D
Hello exile
[Chorus]
      A                  E
And a thousand years may come and go

      F#m          D
I may never meet another soul

A                         F#m             E
Here on my own island of Elba in the Poconos

         Bm       D (hold)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Hello exile A C#m F#m D Dm x2 [Verse 5]
        A
Now I imagined her memory would fade in the void

      C#m
She'd only reappear every now and again

    F#m
I'd smile at the thought of us
Go back to my day
             D              Dm
But that was purely wishful thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
         Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

      D
Hello exile
[Chorus]
      A                  E
And a thousand years may come and go

      F#m          D
I may never meet another soul

A                         F#m             E
Here on my own island of Elba in the Poconos

         F#m               A
And displayed on the nightstand of my mind

    E                           D
Are pictures of you from the summertime

  F#m                   A                         E
Swimming in the Delaware wringing out your long blonde hair

         Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

      D
Hello exile

         A     A/G#  E  F#m
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

      Dm
Hello exile
