Desperate Fools (CHORDS) by Eric Carmen

[Verse 1]~
          ~G                       ~C         ~G
I've been up too high, I've been down too low

            ~G            ~Bm            ~C           ~G
I've been searchin' for somethin' with nowhere to go

             ~C                    ~Bm            ~Em
Thought I'd make it alone but I'm so far from home

        ~A7         ( ~C *)   ~G
In a town full of desperate fools


[Verse 2]~
         ~G                    ~C      ~G
Oh, the sun beats down on the L.A. scene

          ~G             ~Bm            ~C               ~G
But you can't feel the cold when the grass looks so green

         ~C                               ~Bm            ~Em
And the games that I've played were not worth what I paid

       ~A7           ( ~C *)    ~G
In a town full of desperate fools


[Bridge]~
            ~C        ~D       ~Bm       ~Em
I've been takin' my life one day at a time

            ~C             ~D            ~B          ~Em
Tryin' to piece it all together but I know in my mind

            ~A7                     ~Bm        ~Em
That I'm startin' to be what they want me to be

         ~A7                    ~D      
And I wonder sometimes what's becoming of me


[Bridge]~
           ~C         ~D       ~Bm        ~Em
I've been takin' my life one day at a time

           ~C            ~D               ~B         ~Em
Tryin' to piece it all together but I know in my mind

             ~A7                   ~Bm          ~Em
That I'm startin' to be what they want me to be

         ~A7                     ~D      
And I wonder sometimes what's becoming of me


[Verse]~
                  ~G                       ~C      ~G
'Cause I've been up too high, I've been down too low

               ~G             ~Bm          ~C        ~G
I've been searchin' for somethin' with nowhere to go

          ~C              ~B          ~B7            ~Em
And I suppose it's been fun but I guess I'm just one

       ~A7          ( ~C *)   ~Gdim        ~A7          ( ~C *)     ~G  
In a town full of desperate fools,   a town full of desperate fools


NOTE : Key ( ~C *) has been simplified. The original key is C6add9
What this? C6add9 is just depresing the C on the B string and hiting all the other string open.
