Standard (EADGBE)

 Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain

 And ironing out the rough spots

 Is the hardest part when memories remain

 And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio

 `Cause from the lips of some old singer

 We can share the troubles we already know

 Turn them on, turn them on

 Turn on those sad songs

 When all hope is gone

 Why don't you tune in and turn them on

 They reach into your room ohh ohhh

 Just feel their gentle touch

 When all hope is gone

 Sad songs say so much

 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

(CHORUS)

 Sad songs, they say

 Sad songs, they say

 Sad songs, they say

 Sad songs, they say so much

(CHORUS)

 When all hope is gone, sad songs say so much.
