Such Sad Songs

         F#m     A
When the dialogue
                             D        C#m
Makes you think you're gonna die soon
        Bm             F#m       A
I don't listen for the dial tone
                     D   C#m  Bm
I just lay alone and cry


[Chorus]
                F#m            A
Cause there are such sad songs on the radio
    D                  C#m        Bm
And all my old friends are laying low
       F#m                  A                            D     C#m  Bm
Trying not to be the people they're afraid of, don't you know?


[Verse 2]
        F#m          A
And the centerpiece
                   D          C#m
Is a little bit of everything
       Bm         F#m        A
This cacophony is deafening
                            D     C#m  Bm
But no one else can seem to hear


[Chorus]
              F#m            A
And there are such sad songs on your stereo
    D                    C#m           Bm
And all your old friends don't care at all
       F#m                A                          D    C#m  Bm
Trying not to fall apart, they can't take it anymore


[Verse 3]
             F#m           A
And when the morning comes
                         D     C#m  Bm
And everything is still amiss
              F#m    A
You turn your TV on
                          D      C#m  Bm
And then regret it while you sit


[Chorus]
                F#m              A
Cause there are such sad stories on the morning news
    D                C#m             Bm
And every death toll takes more from you
           F#m          A                           D         C#m   Bm
There's an armed gunman in the store with you it seems, oh it seems


[Verse 4]
          F#m          A
So you go back to bed
                       D      C#m  Bm
And pretend it's all a dream
          F#m             A
If you convince yourself
                       D       C#m  Bm
It's only numbers on a screen


[Outro]
            F#m              A
And all the fucked up things that keep happening
          D              C#m               Bm
Will feel much less real than they have to be
F#m            A                      D   C#m  Bm  D
Much less real than they actually are
