[G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [C] [D] [G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [C] [D] [G] [C] And they're stepping [G] away, they walk the line
Yeah, there's a number, it's all of mine
Time is piling up, struggling with greed
With a route box [D] and nowhere [G] to escape
City's just a jungle, [C] miles against [G] the way
[C] Trapped in a [G] heartache, [C] try to get [G] away
I [C] was raised in a country, been [C] working in a [G] town
Been [C] in trouble ever [D] since I set my suitcase down
[Em] Got nothing [D] for you, had [G] nothing [D] before
[Em] Don't even [C] defend yourself [D] anymore
[Em] Sky full of [D] fire, [G] pain pouring [D] down
[G] There's nothing you can [C] sell me, I [D] see you around
All [C] my powers are [G] distraction, [C] thoughts are [G] sublime
Could [C] never be [G] justice, no [C] reason to [G] rhyme
[C] There's only [G] one thing that [C] I did wrong
I [C] stayed in [D] Mississippi a [G] day too long
[C] [G]
[G] [C] [D] [G] With [C] the devils in the [G] alley, news [C] kicking in the [G] stalls
Say [C] anything you [G] want, I've [C] heard it [G] all
I [C] was thinking about [G] things that [C] Rosie [G] said
I [C] was screaming, I was [D] whipping and [G] Rosie's me
[C] Walking through the [G] leaves, [C] falling from the trees
[C] Feeling like a [G] stranger [C] nobody sees
There's [C] so many [G] things that we [C] never learned [G] to do
But [C] I know you're [D] sorry, but I'm sorry too
[Em] Some people [D] love for you, their [G] hand in some [D] wars
[Em] Last night I [C] knew you, tonight [D] I don't
[Em] I need something [D] strong to [G] distract my [D] mind
So [Em] I'm gonna look at [C] you till my [D] eyes go [G] blind
Well [C] I got here [G] following [C] the shadow [G] star
[C] I got [G] here just to [C] be where you [G] are
[C] There's only one [G] thing that [C] I did [G] wrong
I [C] stayed in [D] Mississippi a [G] day too long
[C] [G] [C]
[G] [C] [Dm] [G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [Dm] [Gm] Well my ship has split into the [G] sprinters and it's sinking fast
I'm driving in the poison, got no future, got no past
My heart is not worried, it's light and it's free
I got nothing but [D] affection for those [G] who sail with me
[C] Everybody's [G] moving, [C] it's already [G] there
[C] Everybody got to [G] move [C] [G] somewhere
You [C] stay with me [G] baby, stay [C] with me [G] somehow
[C] Things should start to get [D] interesting right about now
[Em] My clothes [D] are red, [G] tied on my [D] skin
Now [Em] it's tight as a [C] corner that I [D] paint myself in
[Em] I know that [D] fortune is [G] waiting to be kind
So [Em] give me your [C] hand and [D] say you'll be [G] mine
Well the emphasis is endless, cold as a clay
You can always come back, but you can't come back all the ways
[C] There's only one [G] thing that [C] I did [G] wrong
I [C] stayed in [D] Mississippi a [G] day too long
[C] There's only one [G] thing that [C] I did [G] wrong
I [C] stayed in [D] Mississippi a [G] day too long
