So Much For My Sad Song - Chris Rice
Capo 3
Intro: (One strum each)
| G D | Cadd9 | | G D| Cadd9|
^rest
Verse 1:
Cadd9
The first thought through my sleepy head
Em7
When I fell out of my bed
Cadd9
Is "I hope the sky is gray,
Em7
I'm gonna write a sad song today."
Cadd9
So I make up my mind, slip on my shoes
Em7
I'm gonna pick up a paper and read the news
Cadd9
'Cause I'm sure to find plenty 'nuff blues
Em7
To write my sad song
Cadd9
But when I open the door and the sun spills through
Em7
Takes away my breath and I think of you
Cadd9
And the only blues to hit my eyes
D
Are those beautiful blues in the clear blue sky!
Chorus:
G D
So much for my sad song
Cadd9
So much for my sorry attitude
G Cadd9
Let's make this a love song instead
'Cause I'm so in love with you
G D
C'mon let's go out and play
Cadd9
Save the sad song for another day
Cadd9
No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile
G D Cadd9
So much for my sad song Yeah
Verse 2:
Cadd9
So I pick up the news like I said I would
Em7
Drop my jaw right where I stood
Cadd9
'Cause the headline reads: "All The News Is Good,
Em7
Because Love Is On The Way!"
Cadd9
And love floods the world right before my eyes
Em7
Everybody is dancin' and slappin' high fives
Cadd9
And such beautiful music fills the skies
Em7
And we all sing along
Cadd9
And now I snap out of my daydream
Em7
And I can't believe how real it seems
Cadd9
But I keep on dancin' anyway
D
'Cause it's turning out to be a marvelous day!
Chorus:
G D
So much for my sad song
Cadd9
So much for my sorry attitude
G Cadd9
Let's make this a love song instead
'Cause I'm so in love with you
G D
C'mon let's go out and play
Cadd9
Save the sad song for another day
Cadd9
No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile
G D Cadd9
So much for my sad song
Bridge:
D
Sometimes I measure my day
Cadd9
By how many things go my way
D
And when things go wrong I usually get mad
Cadd9
But this time I’m glad that my song didn’t turn out sad
| G//D// | Cadd9 |
Chorus:
G D
So much for my sad song
Cadd9
