Too Long in Exile verse D A E B A E bridge B A E Too long in exile Too long not singing my song Too long in exile Too long like a rolling stone Too long in exile Too long in exile Baby those people just ain't, just ain't your friends Too long in exile my friend You can never go home again Well that isolated feeling Drives you so close up against the wall Till you feel like you can't go on You've been in the same place for too long Too long in exile Baby you can never go back home Too long in exile Anyway you want Oh that isolated feeling Drives you up against, up against the wall 'Cos you've been on the mainland baby Been on the mainland, comin'on strong Too long in exile Too long people keep hanging on Too long in exile Too long like a rolling stone And the wheeling and the dealing All takes up too much time Check your better self baby You'd better satisfy, satisfy your mind Too long in exile Too long you've been grinding at the mill Too long in exile Man, I've really just had my fill Too long in exile You can never go back home again Too long in exile You're about to drive me just insane Too long in exile, been too long in exile Just like James Joyce, baby Too long in exile Just like Samuel Beckett baby Too long in exile Just like Oscar Wilde Too long in exile Just like George Best, baby Too long in exile Just like Alex Higgins, baby
