Intro:  Dmaj7  Gm  (2x)


Dmaj7                  Gm
   Mission Street is a striking dark-eyed stranger
    Dmaj7             D79              G             Gm
Who speaks a language I don't know but long to learn
    Dmaj7                   Gm
Its cadences fall endlessly beyond the windowpane
     Dmaj7          Gm             Dmaj7
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
                    Asus4  A
More than I've been right


Dmaj7                   Gm
   Mission Street calls out to me by name
             Dmaj7          D79              G     Gm
Then hurries on before I've hardly turned my head
Dmaj7                           Gm
   Promises of answers muttered underneath her breath
        Dmaj7       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
                    Asus4  A
More than I've been right


Interlude:  Dmaj7  Gm  (2x)


Dmaj7                 Gm
   Mission Street is alive at every hour
          Dmaj7          D79              G       Gm
Like I've never been and feared I may not ever be
Dmaj7                       Gm  
   A light so steady on the mountains in the distance
  Dmaj7       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
                   Asus4  A
The more that I am right


Dmaj7            Gm
Mission Street
        Dmaj7    Gm    D5
