Lyrics

[Intro]

[Pre-Verse]
    | E | D | A |
| E |

[Verse 1]
E
 I've seen the Joshua Tree
D
 Got down on my knees
A                             E
 Threw the Virgin Mother a prayer
I've walked glass barefooted
     D
Strolled 'cross the devil's hot coal
    A                         E
I've tried everything, I swear

[Chorus]
       E               A
Oh but hey, what can I say?
                E
I'm a desperate man
                       A
I said hey, what can I say?
D          G         E
I'm just a desperate man

[Pre-Verse]
    | E | D | A |

[Verse 2]
E
 Fortuneteller told me
D
 "No more last chances
    A                     E
"You got no future at all"
Oh but I ain't listenin'
D
 To blackhearted gypsy
       A                        E
Nailed a crucifix to a different wall

[Chorus]
    E           A
Hey, what can I say?
                E
I'm a desperate man
                       A
I said hey, what can I say?
D          G         E
I'm just a desperate man

[Pre-Verse]
E            E
 Yeah, I'm a halfcock, fulltilt

[Verse 3]
Scarredhandstothehilt
Don'tpushme, grownass man
      E
Yeah, flashin' light, caution
D
Careful where ya cross, son
A                        E
'Til she comes back again

[Chorus]
E               A
Hey, what can I say?
                E
I'm a desperate man
                   A
Oh hey, what can I say?
D          G         E
I'm just a desperate man
               A
Oh hey, I said hey
                                E
What can I say? I'm a desperate man
               A
Oh hey, I said hey
        D     G      E
I'm just a desperate man
