C Am Dm G
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 :
Em F G
i ranted , i pleaded , i beg him not to go
Em Am Dm G
for sorrow , the only lover i’ve ever known

chorus :
G C F
sadness is a blessing
sadness is a pearl
G Am
sadness is my boyfriend
F C G
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
