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

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