Verse 1:
Am                         Dm
   Well this town's gone crazy
Am                        Dm
   Where they talk about love
Am                          Dm
   It seems they've gotten lazy
Am                         Dm
   Answers just 'all the above'
Am                   Dm
   There is no restitution
Am                                   Dm
   No effort to find what they have lost
Am                          Dm
   Only desiring tainted solutions
Am                    Dm
   To avoid the actual cost

Bridge:
G                   Am
Oh, you can almost hear them
G                              Am
   Their silent screams coming through
G                         Am
   How can our Father forgive us
G                             F
   When we've never been introduced?

Verse 2:
Am                Dm
   Will somebody tell them?
Am                                Dm
   There is a love burning in the dark
Am                       Dm
   A love that's like no other
Am                       Dm
   Saying, 'come as you are'

Chorus:
F        G             Am
   This town needs a hero
F                G        Am
   But will they welcome Him?
F           G                 Am
   That in hope is less than zero
F                         G       Am         Dm Am Dm
   It's just another day in Desperationville

Verse 3:
Am                    Dm
   No one answers to no one
Am                              Dm
   Or so their stubborn minds think
Am                      Dm
   This town's just a loaded gun
N.C.
   Bang! Before an eye can blink
Am                      Dm
   Everyone's pointing fingers
Am                             Dm
  'Don't look at me if it goes wrong'
Am                          Dm
   They're all heartbroken singers
Am                        Dm
   Singing the same old sad songs

Bridge:
G                   Am
Oh, you can almost hear them
G                              Am
   Their silent screams coming through
G                        Am
   How can our Father forgive us
G                             F
   When we've never been introduced?

Chorus:
   F      G             Am
Oh, this town needs a hero
F                G        Am
   But will they welcome Him? Oh
F                G                 Am
   Well that in hope is less than zero
F                         G
