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
