Intro:  D5  G5  (2x)


D5                  G5
   Mission Street is a striking dark-eyed stranger
    D5             D79              G5             G5
Who speaks a language I don't know but long to learn
    D5                   G5
Its cadences fall endlessly beyond the windowpane
     D5          G5             D5
As I sit as though awaiting some return


      D5                G5
And my hands are cold tonight
                      E5
I'm sleepless in this dark
   E5              A5
Forgetting what it was I came to find
      D5                    G5
And it seems that I've been wrong
                    E5
More than I've been right
                    A5  A5
More than I've been right


D5                   G5
   Mission Street calls out to me by name
             D5          D79              G5     G5
Then hurries on before I've hardly turned my head
D5                           G5
   Promises of answers muttered underneath her breath
        D5       G5            D5
Like an offering of contraband misread


      D5                G5
And my hands are cold tonight
                       E5
On the strings of this guitar
                          A5
Looking for the chords of what I've left behind
      D5                    G5
And it seems that I've been wrong
                    E5
More than I've been right
                    A5  A5
More than I've been right


Interlude:  D5  G5  (2x)


D5                 G5
   Mission Street is alive at every hour
          D5          D79              G5       G5
Like I've never been and feared I may not ever be
D5                       G5  
   A light so steady on the mountains in the distance
  D5       G5             A5
A solitude so deep it might awaken me


       D5                G5
Well my hands are cold tonight
                           E5
But the sky is bright with stars
                            A5                 A5
And I'm tearing through the veil that keeps me blind
      D5                  G5
And it seems the more I'm wrong
                   E5
The more that I am right
                   A5  A5
The more that I am right


D5            G5
Mission Street
        D5    G5    D5
Mission Street
