B5                           A5          G5             D5
I try not to drink, cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
G5                D5
Desperate ain't lonely
G5                D5
Though I've been high
G5            D5
Pockets are empty
        A5                             G5           D5
In the daytime I'm lonesome, in the nighttime I'm sad

The letter I wrote, took words from my throat I was saying
G5           D5
Lay on the roadside
G5                        D5
I guess the mailman was drunk
G5             D5
Message was urgent
     A5                      G5          D5
How lazy a state where you don't live no-one

Desperate ain't lonely
G5                D5
Though I've been high

In the daytime I'm lonesome, in the nighttime I'm sad
