Sad Songs Chords

Intro
A      E        D
 
 
A              E            D
  "I lost her in 1978,"
A                        E                D
  He tells me then looks away.
A                         E            D
  It's simple, he loved her so.
  A                       E              D
A tenderness, you can't let go.
              B                           G                          E
He said, "Son, you don't forget your first true love,
She won't forget you too, no."
 
A           E                 D
  I only like the sad songs.
(From the rock bands no one knows.)
A                        E                 D
 No one gets me like the sad songs.
(When I'm lost and all alone.)
                A                    E
I put the needle on the record,
            D                                   Dm
And if only for one second, it's enough.
 
A          E          D
 
A                  E             D
  Her father, he arranged the marriage
A            E           D
  And he gave away
A                                           E
  His daughter's heart, for goodness sake.
D
   What a shame, what a big mistake.
A                                        E                  D
  A daughter's heart's not a good one to break.
                B                      G
So I said "Love, it has no age.
Just wait,
             E
You'll find someone who will call you baby."
 
A           E                 D
  I only like the sad songs.
(From the rock bands no one knows.)
A                        E                 D

(When I'm lost and all alone.)
                A                    E
I put the needle on the record,
            D                                   Dm
And if only for one second, it's enough.
