Desperation

by Gene Wason

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
