[Intro]
G# G#7/D# C# C#m G# Fm7 A#7 D#7
[Verse]
G# Dm7add11 C# C#m
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
G# Fm7 A#7 D#7
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
G# Gadd11 C# C#m
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
G# Caug Fm7 A#7 D#7 G# D#/G
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
[Chorus]
Fm Cm
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
C# G#
She'll beat you if she's able,
Fm7 C# G# D#/G# D#/G
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Fm Cm C# G#
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
Fm A#7 A#m7 D#
But you only want the ones you can't get
[Verse]
G# Dm7add11 C# C#m
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
G# Fm7 A#7 D#7
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
G# Dm7add11 C# C#m
And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
G# C7 Fm7 A#7 D#7 G# D#
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
[Chorus]
Fm Cm
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
C# G#
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Fm7 C# G# D#/G
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Fm Cm
You're losin' all your highs and lows
C# G# A#m7 Am7add11 D#
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
[Verse]
G# Dm7add11 C# C#m
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
G# D#/C Fm A#7 D#7
Come down from your fences, open the gate
G# G#7 C# C#m
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
G# C7 Fm C# C#/C A#m7
You better let somebody love you,
G# C7 Fm C# Am7add11 G#
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
[Outro]
