Mississippi

G
Every step of the way
(G)
We walk the line
(G)
Your days are numbered
(G)
So are mine

(G)
Time is piling up
(G)
We struggle and we scrape
(G)
We’re all boxed in
D          G
Nowhere to escape

(G)
City's just a jungle
(G)
More games to play
(G)
I'm trapped in the heart of it
(G)
Trying to get away

(G)
I was raised in the country
(G)
Been working in the town
(G)
I been in trouble since I
D               G
Set my suitcase down

D
I ain't got nothing for you
(D)
I had nothing before
(D)
Don't even do anything
(D)
For myself anymore
(D)
Sky's full of fire
(D)
Rain pouring down

(D)
There's nothing you can sell me
(D)
So I'll see you around

G
All my powers of expression
(G)
And thoughts so sublime
(G)
Could never do you justice
(G)
In reason or rhyme
(G)
Well there's only one thing I did 
wrong
                        D         
I stayed in Mississippi a day too 
G
long

G
The devil's in the alley, mule 
kicking in the stall
(G)
Say anything you wanna, I've heard 
it all
(G)
I was thinking about the things that
 you said
                              D 
I was dreaming I was sleeping in 
      G
your bed

G
Walking through the leaves, falling 
from the trees
G
Feelin' like a stranger nobody sees
G
Well so many things we never will 
undo
                     D             
I know you're sorry, well I'm sorry
 G
 too

D
Some people'll offer you their hand 
and some won't
(D)
Last night I knew you, tonight I 
don't
(D)
I need something strong to distract 
my mind
(D)
I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes 
go blind

G
Well I got here, following the 
southern star
(G)
I crossed that river just to be 
where you are
(G)
There's only one thing that I did 
wrong
                        D         
I stayed in Mississippi a day too 
G
long
(G)
Well my ship's been split to 
splinters; it's sinking fast
(G)
I'm drowning in the poison, got no 
future, got no past
(G)
But my heart is not weary, and 
smiling's free
I've got nothing but affection for 
             D           G
those who've sailed with me

(G)
Everybody's moving if they ain't 
already there
(G)
Everybody's got to move somewhere
(G)
Well stick with me baby anyhow
Things should start to get 
            D           G
interesting right about now

D
My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
(D)
Not as tight as the corner that I 
painted myself in
(D)
I know that fortune is waiting to be
 kind
(D)
So give me your hand and say you'll 
be mine

G
The emptiness is endless, gold is 
gray
(G)
You can always go back, but you 
can't go back all the way
(G)
Well there's only one thing that I 
did wrong
                          D       
I stayed in Mississippi a day too 
G
long
(G)
Yeah the only thing that I did wrong
                            D      
Was stayed in Mississippi a day too
 G
 long
(G)
The only thing that I did wrong
-no chord-                  D
