[Intro]
C F G C C F G C
[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.
