[Em]
[A]
Every step of the way, we walk in line.
Your days are numbered, so are mine.
Time is collin' up, strugglin' with strain.
All boxed in, [E] we're [A] too late.
City's just a jungle, more [Em] games to play.
[A] I'm [E] trapped in the heart of [A] it, tryin' to get away.
I was raised in the country, workin' in the town.
I've been in trouble [E] since I set my shoes to shine.
[E] I [F#m] got nothing for [E] you, I have [A] nothing to be [B] proud of.
[A]
[D] [E] [F#m] I'm like a fire [E] in the rain, it's [A] pouring down.
[B] Nothing you [A] can tell me, [D] so I'll say.
[E] [A] Powers of discretion, and thoughts to the blind.
Could never do you justice, no reason or rhyme.
Well, there's only one thing I've said in Mississippi,
it's been [E] dead [A] too long.
[A] Devil's in the alley, you're kickin' in the stall.
Say anything you wanna, I [E] heard it all.
[A] I was thinkin' about the things that I said.
I was dreamin', I was sleepin' in your bed.
Walkin' through the leaves, fallin' from the trees.
Feelin' like a stranger, nobody [D] seems [A] well.
So [D]
anything, [A] devil [D] will undo.
[A] I [D] know you're sorry, [E] but I still care.
Some [F#m] people offer [E] you their hand in [A] some more.
[B] [A]
[D] [E] [F#m] Money's nothing [E] strong, never shagged my [A] line.
[B] Hey, [A] brother, look at you, [D] [E] [A] got hit from [E] seven stars.
[A] I crossed that river just to be where you are.
There's only one thing I've said in [D]
Mississippi, [E] [A] it's been dead too long.
[Em] She's been through a splinter, [A] it's sinkin' fast.
Drownin' in the poors and got no future, got no path.
But my eye lights not move, and smile [D] is free.
[A] I've got nothing but affection for those who sail with me.
Everybody's movin', ain't already there.
Everybody's gotta move somewhere else.
Baby, baby, baby, [E] anyhow.
[A] Things should [D] start getting interesting.
[E] Grab [A] [E] [F#m] those away, [E] they're tied up.
[A] [E] [A]
[D] [E] [F#]
Fortune [E] is written to [A] be kind.
[Bm] Give me [A] your hand and [D] [E] [A] anything that's skinless, gold is gray.
You can always come back, but you can't come back [E] all the way.
[A] There's only one thing I've been wrong, state of Mississippi, [Em] it's [A] been dead too long.
Yes, it's all [E] that they, [A] state of Mississippi, they've been [E] wrong.
State of Mississippi, [E] dead too [A] long.
