[Verse 1]
D
To not focus on the limb that's missing
G
With the damn phantom thing itching
G
Is a difficult mission
D
But listen:
[Verse 2]
D
With much of the whole intact
G
In this great anarchic expanse
G
It mostly comes down to a gang of ants
D
Swarming on the shadow of the stain of a drop of blood
[Chorus]
Bm G
I know
D
I've got to submit to whatever it is in control
Bm G
I know
D
Stop throwing shadow on shadow and let it all go
Bm G
I know
Em G
You say, "One Mississippi."
[Interlude]
D G
January February March
D
Since you've gone away
[Verse 3]
D
Constantly rising from and falling into flame
G
My body knows more than I can form with my brain
G
And with a roar from the deepest core cave
D
Cut a coil of those
Old spoiled ways
[Chorus]
Bm G
I know
D
I've got to submit to Whatever it is in control
Bm G
I know
D
Stop throwing shadow on shadow and let it all go
Bm G
I know
Em G
It goes, "One Mississippi
Em G Em G
One Mississippi. One Mississippi."
[Bridge]

I know

I’ve got to submit to
D
Whatever it is in control
