[Intro]
A E7 A
[Verse 1]
A A7 On this lonely bed, I'm lying, deep inside my mind, just crying D A For a way to break this hold she has on me E7 A I wish that she would call, but the phone upon the wall B7 E7 Seems to turn the time into eternity A A7 She keeps walking through my brain, Lord, and I can't stand the strain D A That facing life without her brings to mind D A D Hurting heavy, hanging on, realizing that she's gone A E7 D A/C# E7/B A It is only desperation that I find
[Chorus]
A D A Desperation has a hold upon my body and my soul B7 E7 Loving her was all I had and now, I've lost control A A7 D B7 Help me make it to tomorrow, Lord, send me down your soothing word A E7 D A/C# E7/B A And calm this desperation in my soul
[Verse 2]
A A7 Lord, the world is filled with others who were broken-hearted lovers D A And I know they must have faced a night like this E7 A Empty heart and all alone, hurting clear down to the bone B7 E7 Breathing life into a sweet, remembered kiss A A7 Life is just an endless motion, yet I can't dispel the notion D A That without her loving, I can't make it through D A D I'm dreaming daydreams of the past, knowing I have seen the last A E7 D A/C# E7/B A Of her love and there's nothing I can do
[Chorus]
A D A Desperation has a hold upon my body and my soul B7 E7 Loving her was all I had and now, I've lost control A A7 D B7 Help me make it to tomorrow, Lord, send me down your soothing word A E7 D A/C# E7/B A And calm this desperation in my soul A E7 D A/C# E7/B A Help me calm this desperation in my soul
