[Intro] Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm [Verse 1]
Am                         Dm
   Well this town's gone crazy

Am                        Dm
   Where they talk about love

Am                          Dm
   It seems they've gotten lazy

Am                         Dm
   Answers just 'all the above'

Am                   Dm
   There is no restitution

Am                                   Dm
   No effort to find what they have lost

Am                          Dm
   Only desiring tainted solutions

Am                    Dm
   To avoid the actual cost
[Bridge]
G                   Am
Oh, you can almost hear them

G                              Am
   Their silent screams coming through

G                         Am
   How can our Father forgive us

G                             F
   When we've never been introduced?
[Verse 2]
Am                Dm
   Will somebody tell them?

Am                                Dm
   There is a love burning in the dark

Am                       Dm
   A love that's like no other

Am                       Dm
   Saying, 'come as you are'
[Chorus]
F        G             Am
   This town needs a hero

F                G        Am
   But will they welcome Him?

F           G                 Am
   That in hope is less than zero

F                         G       Am         Dm Am Dm
   It's just another day in Desperationville
[Verse 3]
Am                    Dm
   No one answers to no one

Am                              Dm
   Or so their stubborn minds think

Am                      Dm
   This town's just a loaded gun
N.C. Bang! Before an eye can blink
Am                      Dm
   Everyone's pointing fingers

Am                             Dm
  'Don't look at me if it goes wrong'

Am                          Dm
   They're all heartbroken singers

Am                        Dm
   Singing the same old sad songs
[Bridge]
G                   Am
Oh, you can almost hear them

G                              Am
   Their silent screams coming through

G                        Am
   How can our Father forgive us

G                             F
   When we've never been introduced?
[Chorus]
   F      G             Am
Oh, this town needs a hero

F                G        Am
   But will they welcome Him? Oh

F                G                 Am
   Well that in hope is less than zero

F                         G
   It's just another day in Desperationville, yeah
