[C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Every step of the way, we walk the line.
Your days are numbered, _ so [A] are mine.
[E] Time is [A] piling up, we [E] struggle and we scrape.
All [A] boxed in, [B] nowhere to [E] escape.
_ City's just a jungle, _ more games to play.
Trapped in the heart of it, trying to get away.
I was raised in [C#m] the country, I've been [E] working in the town.
Been in trouble ever [C#m] since I set [B] my suitcase _ down.
I've got [A] nothing for ya, [B] had nothing before.
_ Don't even [E] have anything for myself anymore.
_ _ Sky full of [A] fire, [B] the pain is pouring [A] down.
[B] There's nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around.
[E] All my powers of expression, thoughts so sublime.
Would never do you justice in reason [A] or rhyme.
[E] There's only one [A] thing I did wrong.
Stayed in [A] Mississippi a [B] day too [E] long. _ _ _ _
_ Devil's in the alley, mule kicking in the stall.
Say anything you wanna, I've heard it all.
I'm thinking about the things that Rosie said.
Dreaming I was [A] sleeping in [B] Rosie's [E] bed.
Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees.
I feel like a stranger nobody [A] _
sees.
[E] So many things we never will undo.
[Em] I know you're [A] sorry, [B] I'm [E] sorry too.
[B] Some people will offer you their hand and some [E] won't.
_ Last night I [E] knew ya, tonight [B] I don't.
I need something [C#m] strong to [B] distract my [A] mind.
I'm [B] gonna look [E] at you till my eyes go [B] blind.
[E] I got here following the southern star.
I crossed that river just to be where [A] you are.
[E] There's only [A] one thing [E] I [A] did wrong.
[E] Stayed in Mississippi [B] a day [E] too long. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [C#m] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Well my ship's been split to splinters, it's sinking fast.
I'm drowning in the poison, got no [G#m] future, got no [A] past.
[E] But my heart is not [A] weary, _ [E] it's light [A] and it's free.
[E] I got nothing but [A] affection for those [B] who sail [E] with me. _
Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there. _
Everybody's got to move [A] somewhere.
_ [E] Stick with me baby, _ _ [A] anyhow.
_ [E] Things should start to get [A] interesting right [E] about [B] now.
My [A] clothes are [B] wet, tight on [A] my skin.
Not [E] as tight as the corner I painted [B] myself in.
[A] I know that fortune is [B] waiting to be [A] kind.
[B] So give me [E] your hand and say you'll be [C#] mine.
[E] The emptiness is endless, _ _ cold as the clay.
You can always come back, but you can't [G#m] come back [A] all the way.
[E] There's only one thing I did [A] wrong. _
Stayed in Mississippi [B] a day too [E] long. _
