Intro: G | D
G C
I don’t know how to write you a song
G D
That says, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong
G C
I can’t find the words that don’t make it cheap
G D G
It’s right on the verge and just out of reach
Chorus:
C Em
It must be a sad song with a blue melody
D G
And I’ll bet you it’s lonesome, as lonesome as can be
C Em C
But I’m starting to wonder if there’s such a thing
G D G D
As a sad song that’s too sad to sing
G C
Maybe tonight, maybe this time tomorrow
G D
Me and this guitar will get right with this sorrow
G G7 C
And I’ll play it for you, and you’ll come back to me
G D G
‘Cause you were always a fool for the blue melodies
Chorus:
C Em
So it must be a sad song in three quarter time
D G
That chills down to the bone when the steel guitars cry
C Em C
But if it’s not the one that brings you home to me
G D G
Then it’s just a sad song that’s too sad to sing
C | C | Em | Em | D | D | G
C Em C
Oh, but if it’s not the one that brings you back to me
G D Em C
Then it’s just a sad song that’s too sad to sing
G D C G D G
Oh, it’s just a sad song that’s too sad to sing
