Desperate Fools by Eric Carmen

C6add9 is just depressing the C majorC on the BB string and hitting all the other strings open.

Verse 1:
     G+G            C majorC     G+G
I've been up too high, I've been down too low
      G+G      B minorBm      C majorC      G+G
I've been searchin' for somethin' with nowhere to go
       C majorC          B minorBm      E minorEm
Thought I'd make it alone but I'm so far from home
    A7A7     C6add9  G+G
In a town full of desperate fools


Verse 2:
     G+G          C majorC   G+G
Oh, the sun beats down on the L.A. scene
     G+G       B minorBm      C majorC        G+G
But you can't feel the cold when the grass looks so green
     C majorC                B minorBm      E minorEm
And the games that I've played were not worth what I paid
    A7A7      C6add9  G+G
In a town full of desperate fools

Bridge:
      C majorC    D MajorD    B minorBm    E minorEm
I've been takin' my life one day at a time
      C majorC       D MajorD      BB     E minorEm
Tryin' to piece it all together but I know in my mind
      A7A7           B minorBm    E minorEm
That I'm startin' to be what they want me to be
     A7A7          D MajorD
And I wonder sometimes what's becoming of me


Instrumental Break:


Bridge:
      C majorC     D MajorD    B minorBm    E minorEm
I've been takin' my life one day at a time
      C majorC      D MajorD        BB     E minorEm
Tryin' to piece it all together but I know in my mind
       A7A7          B minorBm     E minorEm
That I'm startin' to be what they want me to be
     A7A7           D MajorD
And I wonder sometimes what's becoming of me


Final Verse:
         G+G            C majorC   G+G
'Cause I've been up too high, I've been down too low
        G+G       B minorBm     C majorC    G+G
I've been searchin' for somethin' with nowhere to go
     C majorC       BB     B7B7      E minorEm
And I suppose it's been fun but I guess I'm just one
    A7A7     C6add9  GdimGdim    A7A7     C6add9   G+G
