Mississippi Burning Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]More nightmares
[G]Someone wak[F]e me when
they're [Am]through
Stop my lover's ghost
from [G]trying to protrude
[F](You're burning,
[Am]you're burning)
It's chaotic, but I've got it
[G]You're letter scratched
[F]across my thr[Am]oat
Like some painter's ink,
[G]spilled the canvas soil[F]ing parts of me

[Verse 2]
Cover up, [F]cover up, all the fusion's lost
[G]I know this sucks but one
[C]day you'll meet [F]up
I miss the softness of your sound
[G]The[Am] taste of you
[G]left [Am]in my mouth

[Verse 3]
Is Mississippi [Am]done yet burning?
Sick sounds like stomach's stinging
I search out, but you cannot be found
A red [F]horizon in the [G]south
[Am]Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleat every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get [F]back to [G]you[Am]

[Verse 4]
Your [Am]shadow
[G]Now lie[F]s against the moo[Am]n
The skin I touched that once
[G]Kissed has [F]come unglued
(You're burning, [Am]you're burning)
It's chaotic, but I've got it
[G]More screams than any[F]one
should [Am]hear
The voice of you [Dm]stabs in
[Am]my c[F]hest[G]
Forged and [F]faithless

[Verse 5]
Cover up, cover [F]up, all the fusion's lost
[G]I know this sucks but one
[C]day you'll meet [F]up
I miss the softness of your sound
[Am]The taste of you [G]left [Am]in my mouth

[Verse 6]
Is Mississippi [Am]done yet burning?
Sick sounds like stomach's stinging
I search out, but you cannot be found
A red [F]horizon in the
[G]south[Am]
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleat every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must [F]get back [G]to you[Am]

[Verse 7]
Darling [F]boy
Lift your chin [C]up for me [Am]now
For my face [F]to see
And I am [C]smiling looking [Am]down
I know you're out of [F]breath
You're [C]hit by the way I've [Am]left
Just hold me tried [F]and true
For [C]I'll be [F]waiting

[Verse 8]
[F]Waiting here for you

[Verse 9]
[Am]So dim these lights, I won't be found
This haunting stops right
here and now
There's pain and in his eyes
of fixed dreaming
I'm tired without you, so let it be
So dim these lights, I won't be found
This haunting stops right
here and now
There's pain in his eyes of
fixed dreaming

[Interlude 1]
I'm tired without you, so let it be
[Am]

[Verse 10]
Is [Am]Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleat every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you
