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
[Refrain]
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
[Strophe]
                   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
[Refrain]
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
[Pont]
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
[Refrain]
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.
