Have been laid upon your table
        Em                A7                   Am7/D
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows
         C                 G         Am7   Am7/D
