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 ohh ohhh

                 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.
