Desperation

E7*
She ran out of luck and started 
sweatin' bullets
    A
She tried to get a job but she 
couldn't do it
E7*                   B          
Now she's livin' in a suitcase 
         E7*
out on the street

E7*
He said I love your family they sure
 are funny
    A
You know I hate to ask but can you 
loan me some money
E7*                   B          
Tryin' to get a grip, tryin' to 
              E7*
get back on my feet

E7*
She's sleepin' in the kitchen on the
 hardwood floor
        A
Said it fixed her back, it don't 
hurt no more
E7*                                
She's lookin' real good, but she's 
B                            E7*
havin' some trouble with her knees

[Chorus 1]
E7*
They're lookin' for some kinda 
satisfaction

F#
Workin' off some kinda chain 
reaction
A                         B      
Tryin' to get a handle on 
             E7*
whatever it is they need
E7*
Victims... of the situation
F#
Can't rise above their own 
desperation
A                             B  
They keep on pushin' but they 
                E7*
can't get it up to speed

[Verse 2]
E7*
He's standin' in the mirror combin' 
his hair
        A
Gettin' all dressed up but he ain't 
goin' nowhere
E7*                               
You could cut him with a knife and
   B                       E7*
 I betcha he wouldn't even bleed

E7*
He said hey doc take a look at this
         A
It don't work and I'm scared to 
death
E7*                               
He said I got somethin' for you 
      B                      E7*
but you only get the first one free

E7*
Never seen a woman that crazy 'bout 
a man
        A
Like a devil and an angel hand and 
hand
E7*                            B 
She knows what he is, but that 
                E7*
ain't the life he leads

[Chorus 2]

E7*
They're lookin' for some kinda 
satisfaction
F#
Workin' off some kinda chain 
reaction
A                         B      
Tryin' to get a handle on

A                             B
