The Exit

• Bb

Bb                         Gm    Dm
Look at all that which surrounds me
Cm                          F
I'm supposed to call this home
Bb                         Gm    Dm
The dark has become so overwhelming
    Ab  Eb  Ebm  F  Bb
So why don't I just go

Cm                                Cm/maj7
Why can't you be more like your brother
Eb
Together you would rule the throne
G
The evil and darkness would grow
F
This kingdom needs you

Bb                                  Dm
"Why can't you just be more like Pallis?" they always ask
Eb                          F
Could this feeling deep in me be the prophecy?
Bb                       Dm
As a child I heard such wonderful stories
     Eb                        F
Of lamps, and the oracle, and holy the sea

Cm
Silly boy, you speak of fiction
              Cm/maj7     Eb
Silly boy, you can't just leave them
                Cm               G
Reaching for some fairy tale ending
F
Myth or legend

Bb                   Dm
Oh, what's the use maybe they're right
Eb
What's the point of dreaming
             F
If it can never materialize?
Bb
Townsfolk are ashamed
Dm           Eb     Dm     F      Ebm
Why can't I live up to my family name?
F          Eb  Dm          Cm        F
Well it's not me, but you see it's just my pedigree

Cm                              Cm/maj7
You're a reckless and romantic rogue
                      Ab
Your head is in the clouds
                                  G
You'll be chained here all your life

Shackled to the ground
F
You're not the chosen one

Bb              Ebm       F          Eb
Don't you ever dream of some place better
Bb      Cm          F
Or a life that's greater
Bb              Ebm       F           Eb
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
Bb       Cm                F             Ab
For something bigger than your skin?

Bb
You are so foolish
     Dm
The dark has been your home
Ebm
If you elope, I'll hunt you
        F
Through suffering you'll atone

Bb
Dear Pallis, you're my brother
     Cm
You looked and watched over me
Dm
But there's something bigger at stake
F
My purpose is this journey

Dm
Brother, you are shortsighted
F
Naive and starry-eyed
Cm
You are not the chosen one
     F
This will be your demise

Bb
Brother, I can't help this feeling
    Eb
My heart tells me to run
Dm
You were meant to rule the dark
F
I was meant to see the sun

Bb              Ebm       F          Eb
Don't you ever dream of some place better
Bb      Cm          F
When the light shines brighter?
Bb              Ebm       F           Eb
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
Bb       Cm                F             Ab
For something bigger than your skin?
Dm Cm   Ebm    F  Bb
I think I'll just go






(HAVE FUN!!)
