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