[E] [Em] [E]
[Em] [D]
I [A] still see taillights [E] in the dark, [D]
[A] smell your perfume [E] in the air
[D]
This is [A] where a fool might [E] fall apart, [Em] but [Bm] I ain't going there
[B] I [A] won't go down in a [Em] burst of flames, I won't [A] stay locked up in [Em] your chains
[A] Yeah, it hurts, but it [E] ain't strong enough [B] to whip me
I [A] might stagger and I [E] might fall, but I [A] won't beg and I [E] won't crawl
[A] A tear or two might [E] fall into my [B] shot of whiskey
But I [D] won't [A] cry, [G] no, [Em] Mississippi
[D] There's nowhere [A] to hide in this [Em] small town, [D]
I know [A] our paths are bound [E] to cross
[D]
[A] Girl, I might stand on shaky [G] ground [Em] when I see [B] all that I lost
[Bm] But I won't [A] go down in a burst [E] of flames, I won't [A] stay locked [G] up in your [E] chains
Yeah, [Bm] it hurts, [Am] but it ain't [E] strong enough [B] to whip me
I might [A] stagger [Em] and I might fall, but I [A] won't beg and I [E] won't crawl
A tear or [A] two might fall [E] into my shot [B] of whiskey
But I [D] won't cry, [G] no, Mississippi

[Em] Oh, [A] [Em] [A]
[E] [B] [Em] [A]
[E] [Em] [A] [E] [G] [A]
[E] [B] [C] I hate to rain [D] on your parade, I hate to [E] make [Em] your bubble [E] buzz
It's gonna [C] take more tears than you [D] can make to make [B] my heart turn into rust
I won't [A] go down in a [Em] burst of flames, I won't [A] stay locked up in [E] your [Em] chains
[A] Girl, you hurt me, but you [E] ain't strong [B] enough to whip me
I [A] might stagger and I [E] might fall, but I [A] won't beg and I [Em] won't crawl
A tear [A] or two might [E] fall into my [B] shot of whiskey
