[A]
[G] [A]
[G] [A] [Gm] [A]
Every step of the way, we walk alike.
Your gaze and number, so are mine.
Time is broken up, struggle and we stray.
All mom's saying, [E] where to [A] play?
City's just a jungle, more games to play.
I'm trying to hide, I ain't trying to get away.
I was raised in the country, been working in the town.
I've been in trouble [E] since I set my [A] screw face down.
[E]
I owe you, I have nothing to be for.
Don't even [A] [Bm] [E]
ask, I'm on fire and the rain is pouring down.
Smell of you is [A] a little bit [D] lost.
[E] [A]
Powers of expression and thoughts to comply.
We never do justice, so be then alright.
Well, there's only one thing I did wrong.
I'll stay in Mississippi [E] way too [A] long.
Devil's in the alley, meal taken in the stall.
Say anything you wanna, I heard it all.
I was thinking about the things that you said.
I was dreaming, I was sleeping [E] in [A] your bed.
Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees.
Feeling like a stranger, nobody's here.
Well, so many things you never [D] will undo.
[A]
I know you're sorry, [E] well I'm [A] sorry too.
[E]
Some people offer you their hand in some walls.
Last night I [A] knew [Bm] [E]
I needed something strong to distract my
[C#m] [Bm] [E] [A]
mind from the scars.
I crossed that river just to be where you are.
There's only [D] one [A] thing I did wrong.
Stayed in Mississippi [Em] day too [A] long.
Well, my ship's been swimming splinters, it's [D] sinking fast.
I'm drowning in the poison, [A] got no future, got no [D] past.
[A] But my island's not moving, it's lightening and screeching.
I got nothing but affection, boo, [E] to [A] sail with me.
Everybody's moving, they ain't already there.
Everybody's gotta move somewhere.
Well, I'm sick of me failing.
And now things just got getting interesting [Em] right [A] about now.
[E]
I pull the weight of this heart on my skin.
Now this [C#m] heart is a corner [Bm] of my [E]
eye.
I don't have more penitent rest than to be kind.
So give me your [F#m] hand.
[D] [E] [A]
Empty mists and sandalwoods, cold as clay.
They can always come back, but you need to come back on the wing.
There's only one thing I did wrong.
Stayed in Mississippi [Em] day [A] too long.
Stayed in Mississippi [Em] day [A] too long.
The only [B] thing that [A] I
Stayed in Mississippi day too long.
[G] [N]
