                    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.
