Desperate and Depressed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
I'm [G]pissed off

[Verse 1]
at the number
Of people that I meet
Who [C]go to shake my hand
With a viper up their [G]sleeve
They freeze me out all winter
[D]Burn me up all summer
[C]Try to take my money
When I'm desperate and depressed
[G]Ain't it a m[D]ess

[Verse 2]
[D]
I've [G]played for free and paid for
The miles on my truck
[C]Got no sleep in motels
'Cause the worry keeps me [G]up
It almost drives me crazy
[D]Thinking about my baby
And [C]how he's gonna love me
If I'm desperate and depressed
[G]Can't get[D] no rest

[Verse 3]
[D]
[C]Momma never told me
[G]That things would be this way
[C]Daddy tried to warn me
[D]That there'd be hell to pay
If [G]I can't find the money
Then I can't buy [C]the time
I'm [G]stuck here making
[D]Someone else's [G]dime

[Interlude 1]
[C]
[G][D][C]
[G][D]
We [G]busked in

[Verse 4]
Sarasota
I made twenty-seven bucks
bucks
[C]I wept for Richard Manuel
Thinking I might have his [G]luck
You talked behind my back
But only [D]stabbed me in the front
But [C]don't think you can hurt me
'Cause I'm desperate and depressed
[G]Ain't it a m[D]ess

[Verse 5]
[G]Please, somebody tell me
How to make it stop
This [C]world feels like a roller coaster
I just can't [G]get off
Tried rehab and probation
[D]Tried self-medication
But But [C]none of that can
cure you
When you're desperate and depressed
[G]Ain't it a m[D]ess

[Verse 6]
[D]
[C]Momma never told me
[G]That things would be this way
[C]Daddy tried to warn me
[D]That there'd be hell to pay
But if [G]I can't find the money
Then I can't buy [C]the lie
[G]Oh, ten percent of [D]nothing
Ain't a [G]dime
So don't you try [D]to sell
me back what's [G]mine
I'll be desperate and de
[D]pressed until I [C]die[G]
