Sad songs    (video)    (midi)

 

    C - F - G - C

 

                                C                                                     F

1. Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain,

                                     G

    and ironing out the rough spots is the hardest part

                 F                 C

    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 

                                               F                   C

    we can share the troubles we already know.

 

C                                                                      F

    Turn them on, turn them on, turn on those sad songs,

                             G                            G7                               C

when all hope is gone, why don’t you tune in and turn them on.

                                    C      C7                        F

They reach into your room, oh, just feel their gentle touch,

                            G       G7                          C

when all hope is gone, sad songs say so much.

 

                                   C                                      F

2. If someone else is suffering enough, oh, to write it down,

                                    G

    when every single word makes sense,

                                  F                             C

    then it’s easier to have those songs around.

                       C                 C7                    F

    The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you,

                                          G

    and it feels so good to hurt so bad

                                              F             C

    and suffer just enough to sing the blues. So ...

 

+  CHORUS

 

                               F                               G

+  Sad songs they say, sad songs they say,

                               F                               G  F     G

    sad songs they say, sad songs they say so much. So ...

 

 

 

 

 

                  C                                                       F

Turn them on, turn them on, turn on those sad songs,

                             G                            G7                               C

when all hope is gone, why don’t you tune in and turn them on.

                                    C      C7                        F

They reach into your room, oh, just feel their gentle touch,

                            G                        G7                          C

when all hope is gone, you know, sad songs say so much.

 

                                  G                       G7                          C

+  When all hope is gone, you know, sad songs say so much,

                                          G                  G7                          C

    when every little bit of hope is gone, sad songs say so much,

                                          G                  G7                          C

    when every little bit of hope is gone, sad songs say so much ....
