[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
I'm Gpissed off at the number of people that I meet
Who Cgo to shake my hand with the viper up their Gsleeve
They freeze me out all winter Dburn me up all summer
CTry to take my money when I'm desperate and deGpressed
Ain't it a Dmess
[Verse 2]
And I Gplayed for free and paid for the miles on my truck
CGot no sleep in motels cause the worry keeps me Gup
It almost drives me crazy Dthinking about my baby
And Chow he's gonna love me if I'm desperate and deGpressed
Can't get no Drest
[Chorus]
CMomma never told me that Gthings would be this way
CDaddy tried to warn me that Dthere'd be hell to pay
GIf I can't find the money then I can't buy the Ctime
I'm Gstuck here making Dsomeone else's Gdime
[Solo]
G(sCamGe Das CvGerDses)
[Verse 3]
I Gbusked in Sarasota, I made twenty-seven bucks
I Cwept for Richard Manuel, thinking I might have his Gluck
You talked behind my back but only Dstabbed me in the front
But Cdon't think you can hurt me cause I'm desperate and deGpressed
Ain't it a Dmess
[Verse 4]
GPlease, somebody tell me how to make it stop
This Cworld feels like a roller coaster I just can't get Goff
Tried rehab and probation Dtried self-medication
But Cnone of that can cure you when you're desperate and deGpressed
Ain't it a Dmess
[Chorus]
CMomma never told me that Gthings would be this way
CDaddy tried to warn me that Dthere'd be hell to pay
GIf I can't find the money then I can't buy the Clie
Oh, Gten percent of Dnothing ain't a dimeG  
So don't you try to Dsell me back what's Gmine
I'll be desperate and deDpressed until I CdieG
