[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
[Guitar Solo]
Am Dm Am Dm
Am Dm Am Dm
[Outro]
Am Dm
Somebody tell them
Am Dm
There is a love burning in the dark
Am Dm
A love that's like no other
Am Dm Am Dm
Saying, 'come as you are' in Desperationville
Am Dm
In Desperationville
Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm
Welcome to, to Desperationville, oohh, oh, oh
Am Dm Am Dm
(to fadeout...)
