C                G             D
I still see tail lights in the dark
C          G              D
Smell your perfume in the air
C               G               D
This is where a fool might fall apart
               A
Mm but I ain't goin€' there


[Chorus]
           C                  G
I won't go down in a burst of flames
             C                 G
I won't stay locked up in your chains
        C                  G                A
Yeah it hurts but it ain't strong enough to whip me
        C                   G
I might stagger and I might fall
            C               G
But I won't beg and I won't crawl
  C                 G                    A
A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey
            C      G      D
But I won't cry no Mississippi


[Verse]
C                  G                  D
There's nowhere to hide in this small town
C          G                  D
I know our paths are bound to cross
C            G              D
Girl I might stand on shaky ground
               A
When I see all that I lost


[Chorus]
               C                  G
But I won't go down in a burst of flames
             C                 G
I won't stay locked up in your chains
        C                  G                A
Yeah it hurts but it ain't strong enough to whip me
        C                   G
I might stagger and I might fall
            C               G
But I won't beg and I won't crawl
  C                 G                    A
A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey
            C      G      D
But I won't cry no Mississippi

No no


[Verse]
          C               G
I hate to rain to on your parade
          C                G
I hate to make your bubble bust
                   C                       G
It's going to take more tears than you can make
           A
To make my heart turn into rust


[Chorus]
           C                  G
I won't go down in a burst of flames
             C                 G
I won't stay locked up in your chains
         C               G                      A
Girl you hurt me but you ain't strong enough to whip me
            C                   G
Ooh I might stagger and I might fall
            C               G
But I won't beg and I won't crawl
  C                 G                    A
A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey
            C      G      D
But I won't cry no Mississippi
           C      G      D
Oh I won't cry no Mississippi mmhm
