Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 I know I just display my foolish pride

 When I try to be an island to myself

 You must be tired of all the stuff that I still hide

 Because I just can’t seem to trust anyone else

 It’s a lonely way to live

 Such a lonely way to live

Chorus

 I’m a desperate man

 I’m in desperate need

 Of your saving hand

 To come and rescue me

You’ve been more than patient all this time

 If it were me I would have given up long ago

 The first time that you pulled me from the mire

 And I brushed you off to dig another hole

 It’s a sad way to live

 Such a sad, sad way to live

Chorus

 I used to be the strong one

 The self-sufficient fool

 I thought I needed no one

 But the plain and simple truth

 Is I’m a desperate man

Chorus
