[A] _ _ _ [Em] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [A] Every step of the way, we walk the line.
Your days are numbered, _ so are mine.
Time is piling up, we're struggling with grace.
All but skin, where to stay? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ City's just a jungle, _ [D] more games to play.
[A] _ I'm trapped in the [G] heart of [A] it, trying to get away.
I was [D] raised in the country, [A] working [D] in the town.
[A] I've [D] been in trouble [E] since I set my [A] suitcase down.
[E] I [F#m] got nothing for [E] you.
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ Sky full [F#m] of fire, [E] the pain is pouring down.
Stuck in [A] your own cell, [E] it's called slave.
_ [A] I was a little suspicion, thought so blind.
Never do justice, no [D] reason or rhyme.
[A] Well, there's only [D] one [A] thing I [D] didn't run.
[A] I stayed in Mississippi [E] a day [A] too long. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Dibbles in the alley, milking in the stall.
Say anything you wanna, I heard it all.
I was thinking about the [D] things [A] _ [D] that you [A] said.
I was dreaming, I was sleeping [E] _ [A] in your bed.
Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees.
Feeling like a stranger, nobody [D] sees.
[A] Well, so [D] many [A] things we never [D] will undo.
[A] I [D] know you're sorry, [E] but I'm [A] _ _ [E] still [F#m] people.
I've been [E] you, been hitting [A] some [E] walls.
Last [A] night I knew you, _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D] but it's something [E] strong.
It struck my mind, I'm [A] _
[D] beautiful.
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ I got hit, following the sun and the stars.
I crossed that river just to be where you are.
There's only one thing I _ _ _ didn't run.
I stayed in Mississippi [Em] a day [A] too long. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ The spinner, it's sinking fast.
I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past.
But my heart is not weary, it's light [D] and it's free.
[A] I got nothing [D] but affection [A] for those who sail with me.
_ Everybody's moving, ain't already there.
_ Everybody's gotta move _ somewhere.
Well, stick [D] with me, baby.
[A] _ _ [D] Anyhow, [A] things just [D] started getting interesting.
[E] Right up [A] _ [E] _ my [F#m] throat, the way [E] that's hot on my skin.
Not as hot as [A] a corn [D] on the cob.
_ [E] _ _ I [F#m] know that fortune [E] is waiting [C#m] to be kind.
[E] In [A] your head, [D] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ forgiveness is endless.
Cold as clay, you can always come back.
But you can't come back all the [E] way.
[A] There's only [D] one [A] thing I [D] didn't run.
[A] I stayed [D] in Mississippi [E] a day [A] too long.
The [D] only thing [A] that I didn't run.
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long.
The only [Bm] thing that I _ [A] didn't run.
I stayed in Mississippi [E] a day [A] too long. _ _ _ _
