Every
Verse 1
G
step of the way, we walk the line
C
Your days are numbered, so are mine
G
C
G
C
Time is piling up, struggle and we scrape
G
C
D
G
All boxed in, nowhere to escape
The city's just a jungle,
more games to play
All trapped in the heart of it,
trying to get away
C
G
C
I was raised in the country,
G
been working in the town
C
G
I've been in trouble
C
D
G
since I set my suitcase down
D
C
I got nothing for you,
D
I had nothing before
C
D
G
Don't even have anything
C
for myself anymore
D
C
Sky's full of fire
D
C
and the rain is pouring down
D
G
There's nothing you can sell me
C
D
so I'll see you around
G
All my powers of expression
and thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice,
C
no reason or rhyme
G
C
G
Well, there's only one thing that I did wrong
C
G
C
I stayed in Mississippi there
D
G
C
G
too long
C
G
F
G
Devil's in the alley,
you're kicking in the stone
Say anything you wanna,
C
I've heard it all
G
C
G
C
I was thinkin' bout the things that you said
G
I was dreamin',
C
D
G
I was sleepin' in your bed
Walkin' through the leaves,
fallin' from the trees
C
Feel like a stranger, nobody sees
G
C
G
So many things we never will undo
C
G
C
D
I know you're sorry, well I'm sorry too
G
D
C
Some people offer you their hand
D
G
and some won't
D
G
C
D
Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
C
I need something strong
D
to distract my mind
G
D
G
I'm gonna look at you
C
D
till my eyes go blind
G
Well I got here following a southern star
I crossed that river just to
C
be where you are
G
C
G
C
There's only one thing that I did wrong
G
C
D
I stayed in Mississippi a day
G
C
G
too long
C
G
Well, my ship's been split as splinters
C
G
It's sinking fast I'm
drowning in the poison
C
Got no future, got no past
G
C
My heart's not with you
G
It's mine and it's free
C
G
I got nothing but affection
C
D
G
for those who sail with me
Everybody's moving,
but they ain't already there
C
Everybody's gotta move somewhere
G
C
G
Well, stick with me, baby
C
G
Anyhow, things should
C
start to get interesting
D
G
Right about now
D
C
My clothes are wet,
D
G
they're tight on my skin
D
G
Not as tight as the corner
C
D
that I paint myself in
I know that fortune is waiting to be kind
G
D
So give me your hand
G
C
D
and say you'll be mine
G
The emptiness is endless,
cold as clay
You can always come back,
but you can't come back all the way
C
G
But there's only one
C
G
thing that I did wrong
C
G
C
D
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
G
C
G
C
Yeah, the only thing that I did wrong
G
C
D
G
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
C
G
C
The only thing that I did wrong
G
C
D
I stayed in Mississippi a day
G
C
G
C
G
too long
C
G
You
