Mississippi Swells chords

[VERSE 1]
[E]Mississippi swells I know

ever drawing lines to another time
to the sirens of [A]Chicago
or Memphis's [B]eerie glow
[E]not quite cause he chosen so
But if [E]dreams were drawn to drown in such a small town
so your instincts made you[F#m] go
you reflect on things [B]you now know

[BRIDGE]
Like how [E]Cindy said it all seems the [G#m]same
imbedded in [A]patterns you don't notice
[B]features out of focus its a [E]shame
the flashlight just [B]falls in the direction your [A]headed
[E]you just knew there's nothing to[G#m] gain
no measure of [F#m]light among the sightless
[B]immobilized and righteous
it was [E]pain so you pointed your [B]beam in the direction of [A]anywhere

[CHORUS 1]
and though [E]urbanity is not without its [A]flaws
You found the time and [B]space

you need to sharpen your claws
and hone your eyesight on the [A]skeletons upon
which all your little int[E]eractions carry on
those that are visible and [A]not metaphysical
and not the anatomy of [B]everything

[VERSE 2]
[E]So when I got to your city

it was summer, it was pretty
and we [A]walked around because we had the time
And you r[B]emarked on all the places that you hadn't seen in ages
[A]disconnected from the metro city [E]lines
and on the [A]closed doors of the fire station
[B]testament to force displacement
[E]shocked me so to see it from the [A]ground
what seems to [E]functional from great heights looking [A]down

[CHORUS 2]
but [E]cities observed from pl[A]anes
at some point so [B]deceptively all start to look the same
you get distracted by the [A]light below the clouds
That seems to shine on through the [E]night you know and how
it seems so lit up to some [A]line

feel the brightness so confine
only skyscrapers [B]shine
the tallest buildings do [A]define [E] [A] [E]

[VERSE 3]
And in [E]letters now you wonder

in the lights your living under
and the [A]vantage points you get to even come upon
you [B]dream in transportation infrastructures the bus station
and the [E]blocks between the shops light's flicker on and off and on
and my [A]imagination to travels those [B]streets
thinking of [E]places and the people that we [A]meet
and [E]conversations of strangers on [A]bus seats

[CHORUS 3]
[E]like you and Arthur on the [A]28
45 [B]fading flip side of the day
and saying oh and its [A]magical and cool
a place where cities and [E]star-scapes collide
I [A]think of the people alive and awake on [E]magnolia street side
the [A]living room lamps and the headlights of cars are l[B]ike fireflies in the [A]night [E]sky
