A E
[Verse 1]
A D
I don't know how to write you a song
A E
That says, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong
A D
I can't find the words that don't make it cheap
A E A
It's right on the verge and just out of reach
[Chorus 1]
D F#m
It must be a sad song with a blue melody
E A
And I'll bet you it's lonesome, as lonesome as can be
D F#m D
But I'm starting to wonder if there's such a thing
A E A E
As a sad song that's too sad to sing
[Verse 2]
A D
Maybe tonight, maybe this time tomorrow
A E
Me and this guitar will get right with this sorrow
A D
And I'll play it for you, and you'll come back to me
A E A
'Cause you were always a fool for the blue melodies
[Chorus 2]
D F#m
So it must be a sad song in three quarter time
E E7 A
That chills down to the bone when the steel guitars cry
D F#m D
But if it's not the one that brings you home to me
A E A
Then it's just a sad song that's too sad to sing
[Solo]
D D F#m F#m
E E7 A
[Chorus 3/Ending]
D F#m D
Awe but if it's not the one that brings you back to me
A E F#m D
Then it's just a sad song that's too sad to sing
A E D A/C# Bm7 A
Oh, it's just a sad song… that's too sad to sing
