( G )
we struggle and we scrape
( G )
were all boxed in
D G
nowhere to escape

( G )

( G )

( G )
i’m trapped in the heart of it
( G )

D G
i stayed in mississippi a day too long

G
the devil’s in the alley , mule kicking in the stall
( G )
say anything you wanna , i’ve heard it all
( G )
i was thinking about the things that you said
D G
i was dreaming i was sleeping in your bed

G
walking through the leaves , falling from the trees

feelin’ like a stranger nobody sees

well so many things we never will undo
D G
i know you’re sorry , well i’m sorry too

D
some people’ll offer you their hand and some won’t
( D )
last night i knew you , tonight i don’t
( D )
i need something strong to distract my mind
( D )
i’m gonna look at you ’til my eyes go blind

( G )
i crossed that river just to be where you are
( G )
there’s only one thing that i did wrong
D G
i stayed in mississippi a day too long
( G )
well my ship’s been split to splinters; it’s sinking fast
( G )
i’m drowning in the poison , got no future , got no past
( G )
but my heart is not weary , and smiling’s free
D G
i’ve got nothing but affection for those who’ve sailed with me

( G )
everybody’s moving if they ain’t already there
( G )
everybody’s got to move somewhere
( G )
well stick with me baby anyhow
D G
things should start to get interesting right about now

D
my clothes are wet , tight on my skin
( D )
not as tight as the corner that i painted myself in
( D )
i know that fortune is waiting to be kind
( D )
so give me your hand and say you’ll be mine

G
the emptiness is endless , gold is gray
( G )
you can always go back , but you can’t go back all the way
( G )
well there’s only one thing that i did wrong
D G
i stayed in mississippi a day too long
( G )
yeah the only thing that i did wrong
D G
was stayed in mississippi a day too long
( G )
the only thing that i did wrong
– no chord – D G
