C5                 A5               D5      G5
My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight
My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight
And I keep it like a burning(?)
I'm longing from a distance

Bridge:
E5                  F5               G5
I ranted, I pleaded, I beg him not to go
   E5                A5              D5    G5
For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known 

Chorus:
G5            C5        F5
Sadness is a blessing
Sadness is a pearl
G5             A5
Sadness is my boyfriend
F5                    C5      G5
Oh, sadness I'm your girl

These scars of mine make wounded rhymes tonight
I dream of times when you were mine so I
Can keep it like a haunting
Heart beating close to mine

Sadness is a blessing
Sadness is a pearl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh, sadness I'm your girl

[Chords from chorus again]

I ranted, I pleaded, I beg him not to go
For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known
Every night I rant, I plead, I beg him not to go
Will sorrow be the only lover I can call my own?

Sadness is a blessing
Sadness is a pearl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh, sadness I'm your girl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh, sadness I'm your girl
Oh, sadness I'm your girl
