Sad Songs

A C# F#m D

A         C#      F#m D
"I lost her in 1978"
A            C#          F#m D
He tells me then looks away
A             C#          F#m D
It's simple he loved her so
 A              C#         F#m
A tenderness you can't let go

         D                 A                    G
He said, "Son you don't forget your first true love
             F#m
She won't forget you too"

A       G            D
I only like the sad songs
(From the rock bands no one knows)
A               G            D
No one gets me like the sad songs
(When I'm lost and I'm all alone)
             A             G
Just put the needle on the record
     D                            E
And if only for one second, it's enough

A          C#     F#m D
Her father he arranged the marriage
A      C#      F#m D
 And he gave away
A                        C#
His daughter's heart, for goodness sake
F#m                    D
  What a shame, what a big mistake
A                           C#         F#m
 A daughter's heart's not a good one to break

          D               A
So I said "love it has no age
                  G                    F#m
Just wait, you'll find someone who will call you 'baby'"

A       G            D
I only like the sad songs
(From the rock bands no one knows)
A               G            D
No one gets me like the sad songs
(When I'm lost and I'm all alone)
             A             G
Just put the needle on the record
     D                            E
And if only for one second, it's enough
                  G
You only like the sad songs?
              D
Well here's a sad song for you my love

                  G           E
You only like the sad songs
                     G
You say you like the sad songs
         E (strum once)      Dm (strum once)
Here's a sad song for you my love
            A (strum slowly once)
For you my love
