Verse 1:

Cadd9 The first thought through my sleepy head
      Em7When I fell out of my bed
     Cadd9Is "I hope the sky is gray,
           Em7I'm gonna write a sad song today."
     Cadd9So I make up my mind, slip on my shoes
           Em7I'm gonna pick up a paper and read the news
           Cadd9'Cause I'm sure to find plenty 'nuff blues
    Em7To write my sad song
           Cadd9But when I open the door and the sun spills through
       Em7Takes away my breath and I think of you
        Cadd9And the only blues to hit my eyes
          DAre 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
Cadd9Save the sad song for another day
Cadd9No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile
                G       D      Cadd9So much for my sad song      Yeah


Verse 2:

     Cadd9So I pick up the news like I said I would
Em7Drop my jaw right where I stood
           Cadd9'Cause the headline reads: "All The News Is Good,
        Em7Because Love Is On The Way!"
          Cadd9And love floods the world right before my eyes
     Em7Everybody is dancin' and slappin' high fives
          Cadd9And such beautiful music fills the skies
    Em7And we all sing along
          Cadd9And now I snap out of my daydream
      Em7And I can't believe how real it seems
      Cadd9But 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
Cadd9Save the sad song for another day
Cadd9No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile
                G       D      Cadd9So much for my sad song


Bridge:

D Sometimes I measure my day
  Cadd9By how many things go my way
        DAnd when things go wrong I usually get mad
     Cadd9But 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
Cadd9Save the sad song for another day
Cadd9No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile
Cadd9                                  (<- Sustain Cadd9)No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile
