The Menzingers – Hello Exile chords

[Intro]

A    C#m    F#m    D    x2


[Verse 1]
    AHer language was a perfect phrase
    C#mHer playful prose followed me for days
F#mDown the alleyways of my desire
         DTo their final resting place


[Verse 2]
     AIn a vacation town where I lived year round
    C#mShe migrated here with the summer crowds
       F#mAnd we fell in love under impossible smiles
         DLife was perfect if just for a little while


[Pre-Chorus]
         BmOh oh oh oh oh oh oh
      DHello exile


[Chorus]
      A                  EAnd a thousand years may come and go
       F#m          DWe may never meet another soul
A                         F#m             EHere 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

[Verse 3]
       AAnd we bathed in the sun

Cut our jeans into shorts
   C#mOutstared every star in the sky
          F#mUnder the cover of nowhere the present was a present
          DIt looked beautiful on you every night


[Verse 4]
       ABut we knew it would end yeah we knew it all along
         C#mIt was a future never reconciled
           F#m                                             DmIt€'s as if letting your shackled heart feel loved was more difficult than total denial


[Pre-Chorus]
         BmOh oh oh oh oh oh oh
      DHello exile


[Chorus]
      A                  EAnd a thousand years may come and go
      F#m          DI may never meet another soul
A                         F#m             EHere 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 x2


[Verse 5]
        ANow I imagined her memory would fade in the void
      C#mShe'€™d only reappear every now and again
    F#mI'd smile at the thought of us

Go back to my day
             D              DmBut that was purely wishful thinking


[Pre-Chorus]
         BmOh oh oh oh oh oh oh
      DHello exile


[Chorus]
      A                  EAnd a thousand years may come and go
      F#m          DI may never meet another soul
A                         F#m             EHere on my own island of Elba in the Poconos

         F#m               AAnd just play the last set of my mind [?]
    E                           DOur passions were real from the summertime
  F#m                   A                         ESwimming in the Delaware wringing out your long blonde hair

         BOh oh oh oh oh oh oh
      DHello exile
         A     A/G#  E  F#mOh oh oh oh oh oh oh
      DmHello exile
