Intro: C  F  G  C  C  F  G  C  
                 C                                 F
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
                     G
And ironing out the rough spots
                         C
Is the hardest part when memories remain
          C                                             F
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
                 G
`Cause from the lips of some old singer
                          C
We can share the troubles we already know

C
Turn them on, turn them on
              F
Turn on those sad songs
                  G
When all hope is gone
                                    C
Why don't you tune in and turn them on

                     C
They reach into your room
                 F
Just feel their gentle touch
                  G
When all hope is gone
                  C
Sad songs say so much

                    C                    F
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
                  G
When every single word makes sense
                    C
Then it's easier to have those songs around
            C                                F
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
                        G
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
                          C
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
(CHORUS)
                F
Sad songs, they say
                G
Sad songs, they say
                F
Sad songs, they say
                G   F/C G
Sad songs, they say so  much
(CHORUS)
                  G                      C
When all hope is gone, sad songs say so much.
