Intro:  D7M  Gm  (2x)


D7M                  Gm
   Mission Street is a striking dark-eyed stranger
    D7M             D79              G             Gm
Who speaks a language I don't know but long to learn
    D7M                   Gm
Its cadences fall endlessly beyond the windowpane
     D7M          Gm             D7M
As I sit as though awaiting some return


      D7                G
And my hands are cold tonight
                      Em
I'm sleepless in this dark
   Em              A
Forgetting what it was I came to find
      D7                    G
And it seems that I've been wrong
                    Em
More than I've been right
                    A4  A
More than I've been right


D7M                   Gm
   Mission Street calls out to me by name
             D7M          D79              G     Gm
Then hurries on before I've hardly turned my head
D7M                           Gm
   Promises of answers muttered underneath her breath
        D7M       Gm            D
Like an offering of contraband misread


      D7                G
And my hands are cold tonight
                       Em
On the strings of this guitar
                          A
Looking for the chords of what I've left behind
      D7                    G
And it seems that I've been wrong
                    Em
More than I've been right
                    A4  A
More than I've been right


Interlude:  D7M  Gm  (2x)


D7M                 Gm
   Mission Street is alive at every hour
          D7M          D79              G       Gm
Like I've never been and feared I may not ever be
D7M                       Gm  
   A light so steady on the mountains in the distance
  D7M       Gm             A
A solitude so deep it might awaken me


       D7                G
Well my hands are cold tonight
                           Em
But the sky is bright with stars
                            A4                 A
And I'm tearing through the veil that keeps me blind
      D7                  G
And it seems the more I'm wrong
                   Em
The more that I am right
                   A4  A
The more that I am right


D7M            Gm
Mission Street
        D7M    Gm    D5
