[Verse]

C                                                 F
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
                    G
And ironing out the rough spots
                         F/C        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
                          F/C        C
We can share the troubles we already know


[Chorus]

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


[Verse]

                   C                   F
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
                  G
When every single word makes sense
                    F/C              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
                          F/C      C
And suffer just enough to sing the blues


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

C               F
Sad songs, they say
    Dm          G
Sad songs, they say
C               F
Sad songs, they say
    Dm          G     F/C G
Sad songs, they say so  much


[Chorus]

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


[Outro]

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