 VERSE 
CCsus4 Every step of the way
CCsus4 We walk the line
CCsus4 Your days are numbered
CF So are mine
CFCF Time is pilin’ up, we struggle and we scrape
CC/DC/E C/F C/GGC We’re all boxed in, no- where to escape
 VERSE 
CCsus4 City’s just a jungle
CCsus4 More games to play
CCsus4 Trapped in the heart of it
CF Tryin' to get away
CFCF I was raised in the country, I been workin’ in the town
CC/DC/EC/F C/G GC I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down
 BRIDGE 
GG/AG/BG/C Got nothin' for you, I had nothin' before
G/DG/EFG Don’t even have anything for myself anymore
GG/AG/BG/C Sky full of fire, pain pourin’ down
G/DG/EFG Nothing you can sell me, I’ll see you around
 VERSE (chorus) 
CCsus4 All my powers of expression
CCsus4 And thoughts so sublime
CCsus4 Could never do you justice
CF In reason or rhyme
CFCF Only one thing I did wrong
CC/DC/EC/F C/G GC Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
 
| C C/D C/E C/F | C/G GC |
 VERSE 
CCsus4 Well, the devil’s in the alley
CCsus4 Mule’s in the stall
CCsus4 Say anything you wanna
CF I have heard it all
CFCF I was thinkin’ 'bout the things that Rosie said
CC/DC/EC/F C/GGC I was dreaming I was sleepin' in Ro - sie’s bed
 VERSE 
CCsus4 Walkin' through the leaves
CCsus4 Falling from the trees
CCsus4 Feelin' like a stranger
CF Nobody sees
CFCF So many things that we never will undo
CC/DC/EC/F C/GGC I know you’re sorry, I’m sor - ry too
 BRIDGE 
GG/AG/BG/C Some people will offer you their hand and some won’t
G/DG/EFC G Last night I knew you, tonight I don’t
GG/AG/BG/C I need somethin’ strong to distract my mind
G/DG/EFCG I’m gonna look at you ’til my eyes go blind
 VERSE (chorus) 
CCsus4 Well I got here followin'
CCsus4 The southern star
CCsus4 I crossed that river
CF Just to be where you are
CFCF Only one thing I did wrong
CC/DC/EC/F C/G GC Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
 
| C C/D C/E C/F | C/G GC |
 VERSE 
CCsus4 Well my ship’s been split to splinters
CCsus4 And it’s sinkin' fast
CCsus4 I’m drownin’ in the poison
CF Got no future, got no past
CFCF But my heart is not weary, it’s light and it’s free
CC/DC/EC/FC/GGC I’ve got nothin’ but affection for all those who’ve sailed with me
 VERSE 
CCsus4 Everybody movin’
CCsus4 If they ain’t already there
CCsus4 Everybody got to move
CF Somewhere
CFCF Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
CC/DC/EC/FC/GGC Things should start to get interestin' right about now
 BRIDGE 
GG/A G/BG/C My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
G/DG/EFCG Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
GG/AG/BG/C I know that fortune is waitin’ to be kind
G/DG/EFCG So give me your hand and say you’ll be mine
 VERSE (chorus) 
CCsus4 Well, the emptiness is endless
CCsus4 Cold as the clay
CCsus4 You can always come back,
CF But you can’t come back all the way
CFCF Only one thing I did wrong
CC/DC/EC/F C/G GC Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
