C G C
Throw the dog a bone I'll take it if I have to
G C
Go real fast like there's somewhere we can get to
What's the use of standing right there on the edge
G
If there ain't nowhere to fall
C
What's the use of hanging on tight to the phone
G
If nobody might call
C G F G C
Desperation, there's danger in frustration
G
Complicated words slipping off of your tongue
C G F
And ain't one of them the truth
C G F
I'm still desperate for you
Tell it like a lie, live it like a movie
Give a heart away like it ain't nothing to me
What's the use of making all the plans that we made
If you weren't gonna go
What's the use of slapping on a smile for a face
If your eyes don't wanna show
Desperation, there's danger in frustration
Complicated words slipping off of your tongue
And ain't one of them the truth
I'm still desperate for you
G
Well it's too damn bad you didn't have a chance
C
To make me your best friend
G
You were too caught up in giving too much up
C
And not doing what you should have been
Desperation, there's danger in frustration
Complicated words slipping off of your tongue
And ain't one of them the truth
I'm still desperate for you
