ses
             
You've been ou

s,
            
for so long - 


now.
            
Oh you're a ha

rd one.
             
I know that yo

              
u've got your 


reasons.
             
These things t

        
hat are pleasi

n' you
           
Can hurt you s

     
omehow.

            
Don't you draw

              
 the queen of 


diamonds boy
             
She'll beat yo

           
u if she's abl

e.
             
You know the q

             
ueen of hearts

             
 is always you

          
r best bet.
            
Now it seems t

           
o me, some fin

e things
             
Have been laid

           
 upon your tab

le.
            
But you only w

        
ant the ones
              
That you can't

   
 get.

     
Desperado,
            
 Ohhhh you ain

   
't getting no 

younger.
             
Your pain and 

     
your hunger,
            
They're drivin

      
g you home.
             
And freedom, o

  
h freedom.
              
Well that's ju

   
st some people

 talking.
             
Your prison is

            
 walking throu

            
gh this world 

       
all alone.

            
Don't your fee

              
t get cold in 

    
the winter tim

e?
             
The sky won't 

             
snow and the s

un won't shine

.
            
It's hard to t

             
ell the night 

              
time from the 

   
day.
            
And you're los

             
ing all your h


ighs and lows
             
ain't it funny

         
 how the feeli

ng goes
      
away...

     
Desperado,
            
 Why don't you

             
 come to your 


senses?
             
come down from

            
 your fences, 

       
open the gate.
             
It may be rain

            
in', but there

             
's a rainbow a


bove you.
             
You better let

          
 somebody love

 you.
             
(let somebody 


love you)
             
You better let

        
 somebody love

 you...ohhh..h

ooo
          
before it's to

          
o..oooo.. late
