It's not easy, baby, living on the exile plan.

 Down on the bottom; down to my new pair of shoes.

I'm down by the lakeside, thinking 'bout my baby blue.

             A                        D7                      A
Last night I played a gig in Salzburg, outside in the pouring rain.

          E7                D7                            A    E7
Flew from there to Montreux, and my heart was filled with pain.

Verse 4:

     A             D7                      A
Look out my window; back at the way things are.

Look out my window pane; back at the way things are.

Just wonder how, how did things ever get this far?

Just who he was, just where he fits in.
