[Verse 1]
  B
I guess it's way too late
               F#
for half assed sympathy
      F#
Or to ask if there is
             A
anything you need from me
        B
That neglected Mississippi
          F#
bridge is crumbling
         F#
And I'm stuck in Missouri
                     E
squinting to see Illinois


[Verse 2]
       B
So I'm on the banks just
                 F#
trying To get my message
               F#
through But my waves and
Continues after the ad

jumps Will clearly be no
B                   B
help to you And any sacrifice
                     F#
is worthless that's another
        F#
truth A mile long current
                           E  F#
separates the man from the boy


[Chorus 1]
   B                   A
So leave put away your telescope
      E
Or at least point it upwards to
     B F# C#m B    B
the sky        The close ups of
                   A
my face have to be getting old
        E
And the sun will turn to stars
            B    F# C#m B B F# C#m B
in a little while

[Verse 3]
B/D#                    E
    The gasoline may be cheaper
B
  And the fireworks stands
 F#   B/D#
linger   It's getting dark and
  E
I know that you can't swim
B
  But there's nothing here
      F#
worth crossing for
            E    F#
Even if you could


[Chorus 2]
   B                   A
So leave put away your telescope
      E
Or at least point it upwards to
     B F# C#m B    B
the sky        The close ups of
                   A
my face have to be getting old
        E
And the sun will turn to stars
            B    F# C#m B

[Chorus 3/Outro]
   B                  A
So leave pack up your riverboat
   E
Be thankful that you have something
         B           B
that is still afloat Maybe take the
                   A
muddy back towards Murphysboro
    E
The sun will turn to stars
            B    F# C#m B
