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 fc G
sad songs , they say so much

( chorus )

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