Desperate Fools by Eric Carmen

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

Verse 1:
          G                       C         G
I've been up too high, I've been down too low
            G            Bm            C           G
I've been searchin' for somethin' with nowhere to go
             C                    Bm            Em
Thought I'd make it alone but I'm so far from home
        A7         C6add9   G
In a town full of desperate fools


Verse 2:
         G                    C      G
Oh, the sun beats down on the L.A. scene
          G             Bm            C               G
But you can't feel the cold when the grass looks so green
         C                               Bm            Em
And the games that I've played were not worth what I paid
       A7           C6add9    G
In a town full of desperate fools

            C        D       Bm       Em
I've been takin' my life one day at a time
            C             D            B          Em
Tryin' to piece it all together but I know in my mind
            A7                     Bm        Em
That I'm startin' to be what they want me to be
         A7                    D
And I wonder sometimes what's becoming of me

Tryin' to piece it all together but I know in my mind
             A7                   Bm          Em
That I'm startin' to be what they want me to be
         A7                     D
And I wonder sometimes what's becoming of me


Final Verse:
                  G                       C      G
'Cause I've been up too high, I've been down too low
               G             Bm          C        G
I've been searchin' for somethin' with nowhere to go
          C              B          B7            Em
And I suppose it's been fun but I guess I'm just one
       A7          C6add9   Gdim        A7          C6add9     G
