Desperation
Mickey & The Motorcars
Tabbed by Ken Lazell


intro: D-A x4




         D               F#m
There’s a lonely man thinkin’ about a long lost love
      Bm                     G
The gleam in a young girl’s eye
     D                     F#m           
The content of a man just in from the cold
       Bm                         G
With a pretty young thing by his side
       D                     F#m
But he threw it away like a lifetime wasted
        Bm                        G
Still learnin’ what he ought to know
        D                         F#m
Once a fresh young buck now he’s down on his luck
         Bm                     G
And the miles are startin’ to show


Chorus:

D             A                    G                 
So if you’re looking for a little affection
D         A                 G             
Don’t go waiting for the timing to be right
     D           A           Bm         A    G 
The trouble with romance is taking your chances
                                      D-A x4
In the desperation of a downtown night



There’s a lonely girl sitting with a chip on her shoulder

Feeling that time’s runnin’ out

The dismay of a woman who never saw it coming

Never knew what it was about

The confusion of a girl who watched as her whole world

Completely unraveled at the seams

Once the toast of the town now it all comes down

To findin’ the man of her dreams


Chorus


solo D-A-Bm-G  x2


Bridge:
                     D       A     Bm                 D-A-Bm
And when the lights go down and you’re all alone
                   G                           D     A Bm                
You think you’ll never find love but you don’t wanna go home
D                A                         G                 
But if you’re looking for a little affection
D        A                 G             
Don’t go waiting for the timing to be right
         D         A         Bm           A    G 
The trouble with romance is taking your chances
                                      D-A x4       A-Bm-G
In the desperation of a downtown night
