Tom: Em
D7 D G
[Verse 1]
G7 C Cm
Desperado why don't you come to your senses?
G Em7 A7 D7
You've been out riding fences for so long now.
G G7 C Cm
Oh, you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons,
G B Em7 A7 D7 G D F#
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow.
[Bridge 1]
Em Bm7
Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, Boy,
C G
She'll beat you if she's able,
Em7 C G B7
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet.
Em Bm7
Well it seems to me some fine things
C G
Have been laid upon your table,
Em A7 Am7
But you only want the ones that you can't get.
[Verse 2]
G7 C Cm
Desperado, you know you ain't getting younger,
G Em7 A7 D7
Your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home.
G G7 C Cm
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talking,
G B Em7 A7 D7 G D F#
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
[Bridge 2]
Em Bm7
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
C G
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine,
Em7 C G B7
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
Em Bm7
You're losing all your highs and lows,
C G
Ain't it funny how the feeling
Em A7 Am7
Goes away?
[Verse 3]
G7 C Cm
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
G Em7 A7 D7
Come down from your fences, open the gate.
G G7 C Cm
It may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you,
G B Em7
You better let somebody love you,
[Outro]
G G7 Em
Let somebody love you,
G B7 Em
You better let somebody love you,
A7 D7 G
Before it's too late.
