Year:  1984

Writers:  Elton John\ Bernie Taupin

C  F  G  C  C  F  G  C

C                                 F
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain

G
And ironing out the rough spots

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

C
We can share the troubles we already know



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

C                   F
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down

G
When every single word makes sense

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

C
And suffer just enough to sing the blues

(CHORUS)

F
Sad songs, they say

G
Sad songs, they say

F
Sad songs, they say

G   F\C G
Sad songs, they say so  much

(CHORUS)

G			 C
When all hope is gone, sad songs say so much.
(REPEAT, AD LIB ON LYRICS, FADE)
