Desperate Fools by Eric Carmen
C6add9 is just depressing the C on the B string and hitting all the other strings open.
[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 C6add9 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 C6add9 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
[Instrumental Break]
[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
[Final 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 C6add9 Gdim A7 C6add9 G
In a town full of desperate fools, a town full of desperate fools
