1. 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

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

2. If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
   When every single word makes sense
   Then it’s easier to have those songs around
   The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
   and it feels so good to hurt so bad
   And suffer just enough to sing the blues

                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
