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.
