Tom: G
G C
[Verse 1]
G
Am I a lover?
C
Am I a breeder?
G
Lost in the details
D
Raised on the bomb
G
Stuck on the ceiling
C
Making up someone’s numbers
Em D G
For an oh-ohhh-overdose
[Chorus 1]
C
That's the sound of desperation
Em
That's the sound of desperation
G C
A violent equation from the cloud
C
That’s the sound of desperation
Em
That’s the sound of desperation
G C
A federation craving something loud
Am D
From a tone that someone paid to play
G
On a martyr’s radio
[Verse 2]
G
Struck by the lightning
C
Bored by the thunder
G
Somebody’s feelings
D
Were hurt by a post
G
Empty of meaning
C
But chock-full of stones and daggers
Em D G
That were thro-own by a ghost
[Chorus 2]
C
That’s the sound of desperation
Em
That's the sound of desperation
G C
A violent presentation for the crowd
C
That’s the sound of desperation
Em
That’s the sound of desperation
G C
Panic and persuasion playing loud
Am D
From a tone that someone paid to play
G F# Em
On a martyr’s radio
[Solo]

[Bridge]
Em D C
Am I a lover? Am I a breeder?
Em D C
Am I a vampire or succulent bleeder?
G
I would be anything
Bm
For anyone - at any time - in any place
C
Be a bright light in a briefcase
G D
Or a fighter for a safe space
Am
For the hopeless - for the punters
Em C
For the gatherers and the hunters
C G Am Em
The desperate many holding on tonight
C G Am Em
For the desperate many holding on tonight
C G D G
For the desperate many holding on tonight
