Exeunt Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [D]was all alone, we were young,
you were like wine
Heady as the fog rolling in
o'er the hillside
Lovely as [G]the song [Em]in the air
[D]as the wind [Em]blows[G]
[Em]Opiate as the cold of the frost
on the [Bm]win dows
Lo, the [G]rose is gone from my eyes,
[D]so deceiving
[Em]So, my little dove,
I'm afraid [G]I am leaving

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 2]
Now, I am not the [D]fool I was
when I was younger
Crocodile eyes, I have seen
how you hunger
[G]Fluttering your lashes,
like ashes and embers
[Em]Warm and bright as fire devouring [Bm]timber
[G]No, I cannot trust what you say
when you're [D]grieving
[Em]So, my love, I'm sorry,
but still, I am leaving
[D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Even when you hunt me with ire,
relentless
[Em]Batter down my door when you
find me defenseless
[Bm]I wi[G]ll n[Bm]ot a[G]bide all your
raging [D]and [G]rea[Em]ving
I have set my mind and my will, I am leaving
[D]
