                        Damsel In Distress

 C                                            F
A   lonely   man   who   travels,    every   day   around   the   world
 C                                               G
He doesn’t know what he’s looking for,   but he sure hopes, it’s a girl
 C                                              F
He   lives   inside   his   suitcase,    he   looks   into   the   void
 C                                                         G
And he sees Desiree standing right there in the corner,   very paranoid
            Dm                    C                 Dm               C
She  says  don’t, and,  do  it  again,  she  says  don’t,  do it  again
              Dm                                              C
She   says   don’t,     and   then   she   says   do   it   again
        Am                      G                                   C    F    C    G
If you can do it once more, yeah,  better  make sure that it’s  the end

 C                                                                 F
Desiree she waved her scarf at him just like she was some kind of damsel in distress
 C                                                                G
And he said well hang on now babe I’ll come and help you, looked down over her dress
 C                                                    F
Desiree said to him,  I like your style,  could you help me out of this mess
 C                                                           G
He just smiled and said now honey I came to help you and I have to write out an address
          Dm               C              Dm                C
She says go,  come back again,   she says go,  come back again
                      Dm                                    C
At  first  she  says  go,   then  she  says  come  back  again
     Am                                                G                          C
We started off fine first we were lovers, then like brothers, now were not even friends
                        F   C                                                  G
Is  this  really  the  end,  it  seemed  like  the  end  so  many  times  before
 
                       C                                  F
And she said,  well thanks,  but I can help myself,  she got down on her knees
 C                                                             G
She helped him with his problems, Lord she said she’d do ‘bout anything she could to please him
 C                                                             F
But you know he caught the next plane out of there, yeah, he couldn’t go fast enough
 C                                                 G
And he called her names  for playing games  with stakes too high to bluff

               Dm         C                        Dm          C
She  said  goodbye,  so  long,      she  said  goodbye,   so  long
 Dm                               C            Am         
Ciao, ciao, baby where did I go wrong,  and I ran back to say I love you 
                      G                             C             F             C
It’s alright anyway, yeah, but I found out she was gone, she was gone, she was gone
                         G        C                      F                     C
Must have had the whole bottle, goodbye baby so long , goodbye baby so long, goodbye baby so long
                 G                                   C                             F   C   G
Yeah, won’t you tell me where did I go wrong  I’ll write back to say I love you   [fade]
