[Intro: ]G C D 
 
G Should have just run in and steal you away 
I C don't know what else to do 
D I've got a desperado love for G you 
you say you belong to another man 
the C first time we met I knew 
D I felt a desperado love for G you 
 
CHORUS: 
I C know that it breaks D every law 
to Em feel the way I'm feelin' 
but C I want your love so D desperately 
I F don't see the wrong in D stealin' 
so G hold on I'm gonna shoot for the heart 
like C desperados do 
D I've got a desperado love for G you 
 
C D G 
 
It's C so wrong to take what D isn't mine 
and Em head out for the border 
but C I can't look at D you and have 
F respect for law and D order 
so G hold on I'm gonna' shoot for the heart 
like C desperados do 
D I've got a desperado love for G you 
 
C D G 
 
Repeat 1st verse 
 
D I've got a desperado love for G you
