Em7 C#m7 You called my name, you knew my number G A You told me everything was gonna be fine Em Em7 C#m7 You touched my hand, and took me away from this place G A And I keep on thinking I'm going out of my mind Bm7 Someone out there calling me G Em7 I don't know what I can't see A I dread to think what might be there D Bm I'm shaking now with so much fear G E I know, I feel Bm7 I'm living in desperate times Em A I looked to the ground, I couldn't believe my eyes G A The town I'm from was never that tough Em A The life I've known is falling away from me G A And all of my strength may not be enough Solo Em Em7 F#m7 A G Em G A Em A I held the world in the palm of my hand G7 A And I threw it away like a petulant child Bm Now all is gone that I held true G Em Am I bound to lose you too? Bm7 A The choking smoke obscures the sun D I see so clear what I've become G E7 I know, I feel E Bm We're living in desperate times Bm Someone out there calling me G I don't know what I can't see A I dread to think what might be there D Bm7 I'm shaking now with so much fear G E I know, I feel Bm7 I'm living in desperate times G E I know, I feel Bm7 I'm living in desperate times
