Desperation Chords by Gene Watson

[N] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ On this lonely [E] bed I'm lying, deep [A] inside my mind is crying,
_ Far [D] away to break this hold she has [A] on me.
_ _ _ _ _ I [E]
wished that she would call, but the [A] phone up on the wall _
Seems [B] to turn the time into _ [E] eternity. _ _ _ _
_ _ She keeps [A] walking through my brain, Lord and I can't stand the strain _ _
[D] That facing life without her brings to [A] _ mine. _ _
_ _ Hurt and [D] heavy hanging on, _ _ [A] realizing _ that she's [D] gone,
_ It is [A] only _ _ [E] desperation _ that I _ [D] _ _ find.
[A] _ _
_ _ _ _ Desperation has a [D] hold upon my [A] body _ and my soul, _ _ _
Loving her was all I had [B] and now I've lost control.
Help me [A] make it to _ tomorrow, Lord, [D] send me down your [B] _ soothing _ word _ _
And calm this _ [E] desperation _ in my [D] _ soul. _
_ _ Lord, the [A] world [E] is filled with [A] others _ who were broken-hearted lovers
_ [Bm] And I know they [A] must [D] have faced a night [A] like _ this. _ _
_ Empty [E] heart and all alone, hurt [A] and clear down to the bone,
_ _ [B] Breathing life into _ a sweet _ remembered [E] _ kiss. _ _ _ _
Life is [A] just _ an endless motion, _ yet I can't _ dispel the notion
_ That [D] without her loving I can't make it [A] through.
_ _ _ _ I'm dreaming [D] _ _ daydreams of the past, _ knowing [A] I have seen [D] the last of her [A] love _
And there's [E] nothing I [D] can _ do.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
Desperation _ has [D] a hold upon my [A] body and my soul,
_ _ _ Loving her was all I had [B] and now I've lost [E] control.
_ Help me [A] make it to _ tomorrow, Lord, [D] send me down your [B] _ soothing _ word
_ _ And [A]
calm this _ [E] desperation _ in [D] my _ soul.
_ _ [E] _
Help me [A] calm this _ [E] desperation _ in my [D] soul. _ _
