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:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/chris_rice/so_much_for_my_sad_song_crd.html ]
     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
 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
Cadd9                                  (<- Sustain Cadd9)
No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile
                G       D      Cadd9
So much for my sad song
                G       D      Cadd9
So much for my sad song
