Lyrics and Chords

Intro: (x2) 0:00 0:18
C | C | F | F
G | G | C | C

Verse 1: 0:36
                 C
Guess there are times when we all need
            F
To share a little pain,
                     G          C G
And ironing out the rough spots
                          C
Is the hardest part when memories remain.
0:54
          C
And it's times like these when we all need
             F
To hear the radio.
                 G
'Cause from the lips of some old singer
                           C
We can share the troubles we already know.

Chorus: 1:12
         C
Turn 'em on, turn 'em on.
               F        A# F
Turn on those sad songs.
                  G
When all hope is gone,
               G
Why don't you tune in
              C  F C
And turn them on?
1:29
                      C
They reach into your room, o-o-o-oh,
                 F           A# F
Just feel their gentle touch.
                  G
When all hope is gone,
                  C
Sad songs say so much.

Verse 2: 1:47
                    C
If someone else is suffering enough,
         F
Oh, to write it down
                   G               C G
When ev'ry single word makes sense,
                     C
Then it's easier to have those songs around.
2:05
            C
The kick inside is in the line
              F
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: 2:23
            C
So turn 'em on, turn 'em on.
               F        A# F
Turn on those sad songs.
                  G
When all hope is gone,
               G
Why don't you tune in
              C  F C
And turn them on?
2:41
                      C
They reach into your room, o-o-o-oh,
                 F           A# F
Just feel their gentle touch.
                  G
When all hope is gone, you know,
                  C
Sad songs say so much.

And turn them on?
