Desperation
by Gene Watson
G G7
On this lonely bed I'm lying deep inside my mind just crying
C G
Far away to break this hold she has on me
D7 G
I wish that she would call but the phone upon the wall
A7 D7
Seems to turn the time into eternity
G G7
She keeps walking through my brain Lord and I can't stand the strain
C G
That facing life without her brings to mind
C G C
Hurtin' heavy hanging on realizin' that she's gone
G D7 G
It is only desperation that I find
C G
Desperation has a hold upon my body and my soul
A7 D7
Loving her was all I had and now I've lost control
G C A7
Help me make it to tomorrow Lord send me down your soothing word
G D7 C G
And calm this desperation in my s-oul
G7
Lord the world is filled with others who were broken hearted lovers
C G
And I know they must have faced a night like this
D7 G
Empty heart and all alone hurtin' clear down to the bone
A7 D7
Breathing life into a sweet remembered kiss
G G7
Life is just an endless motion yet I can't dispel the notion
C G
That without her loving I can't make it through
C G C
I'm dreaming daydreams of the past knowing I have seen the last
G D7 G
Of her love and there's nothing I can do
