F Am G

Intro:

C G F

And the light you gave

You took away when you were gone

G F

It's a war that can't be won

With fists or talk or money

C G F

And there's no escape

But there's nothing I want more

G F

But I'd better stop complaining now

I guess because

F Am G

Too many sad words make a sad, sad song

F Am G

Too many sad words make a sad, sad song

F Am G

C G F

And the night you came

You won me all and all

G F

And the better part of everything

Was born to run

C G F

And the price of fame

Is that they love you when you're gone

G F

But I better stop complaining now

It's useless because

F Am G

Too many sad words make a sad, sad song

F Am G

Too many sad words make a sad, sad song
