[Verse 1]
C C7 F
You leave Mobile and I'll leave Slidell
G7 C
Both headed for some Biloxi motel
C C7 F C/E Dm7
Where we can be alone and watch the waves rol-lin' in
G7 C C7
Drownin' out our shame, we fool ourselves again
[Chorus]
F G7 C
We know this thing is bound to come to an endin'
D7 Dm7 G7
But it sure feels good in the meantime preten-din'
C C7 F Fm
Hangin' on to a dream that can't come true
C
Mississippi rendezvous

Mississippi rendezvous
[Verse 2]
C C7 F
You go back to yours and I'll go back to mine
G7 C
We've gotten good at actin' like things are fine
C C7 F C/E Dm7
He trusts me too much to ask me where I--I've been
G7 C C7
And I still feel that gulf breeze gentle on my skin
[Chorus]
F G7 C
We know this thing is bound to come to an endin'
D7 Dm7 G7
But it sure feels good in the meantime preten-din'
C C7 F Fm
Hangin' on to a dream that can't come true
C
Mississippi rendezvous
C
Mississippi rendezvous
[Chorus]
F G7 C
You gave me what I thought I needed
D7 Dm7 G7
We paid no mind to the ones we mistrea--ted
C C7 F Fm
Now I don't like myself or the foolish things I do
C
Mississippi rendezvous
