[Verse 1]
C               Am/C
  Going home to exile
Cmaj7           Am/C
  Was I lost or found?
C                   Am/C
  Never thought I'd miss you
Cmaj7            Am/C
  Till I hit the ground
C                    Am/C
  Learned to keep my sails up
Cmaj7              Am/C
  When a ship went down
C              Am/C
  Is there any profit
Cmaj7         C7
  When I play    the clown?


[Pre-chorus]
   F
Oooooooh
              G7/F
I don't wanna argue
F                    G7/F
  I hope you'll understand


[Chorus]
Abdim7       C/G
Take me as I am
G6  G7                        Am     Dm7/F
        Don't you know I'm in exile?
Abdim7       C/G
Take me as I am
G6  G7                       Am     F6  Fm6
        Can't you see I'm in exile?


[Verse 2]
C                    Am/C
  There's a river between us
Cmaj7                Am/C
  Running through my   veins
C                 Am/C
  A clear line of duty
Cmaj7          Am/C
  In a made up   game
C                            Am/C
  Oh, but when I broke those borders
Cmaj7             Am/C   F
  Did we feel the same?
C                Am/C
  Someone's been crying for help for so long
Cmaj7                                  C7
  Have you seen him on the screen just singing in the rain?


[Pre-chorus]
F               G7/F
  Could I be forgiven
F                      G7/F
  For not holding your hand?


[Chorus]
Fm6/Ab       C/G
Take me as I am
G6  G7                        Am     Dm7/F
        Don't you know I'm in exile?
Fm6/Ab       C/G
Take me as I am
G6  G7                       Am     F6
        Can't you see I'm in exile?


[Post-chorus]
Fm6   C/G   Em/G  G7  Am7   Dm7/A  Fm6/Ab
In my mind?
C/G   Em/G  G7  Am7   Dm7/A  Fm6/Ab
Oh ooh...
C/G   Em/G  G7  Am7   Dm7/A  Fm6/Ab
Oh ooh...
C/G   Em/G  G7  Am7   Dm7/A  Fm6/Ab
Oh ooh...


[Chorus]
Fm6/Ab       C/G
Take me as I am

        Can't you see I'm in exile?


[Outro]

Take me as I am   (Home is here now) (Ici ou là)
                      Am                 Dm7/F
Can't you see I'm in exile? (Take me as I am)
    Fm6/Ab       C/G                     G7
Oh, take me as I am  (Home is here now) (Plus de pourquoi)
                     Am                          F6     Fm6
Don't you see I'm in exile, I'm in exile, I'm in exile?
N.C.
