Ill Be The Sad Song

Brandy Clark


Tom: Bm

INTRO:
D  D  D  D

VERSE:
    D              D
If your life is a record
 D                          D
People and places are the songs
             D                    D
There’ll be slow and there’ll be fast ones
         D               D
Lookin’ forward, lookin’ back ones
         D            D                  G
On that tiny two-lane town that you call home
  G                A          A
They’ll all make sense when they’re together
    A              D     D
If your life is a record


CHORUS:
 Em          A
I’ll be the sad song
       D              Bm
Your “good love gone bad” song
     Em            A                  D   D
The part of your heart that’s bittersweet

 Em               A
Couldn’t be your happy song
    D           Bm
But at least we had a song
    Em          A            D   D
So I’ll be the sad song you sing


VERSE:
 D                           D
Some night, when it’s raining
 D                               D
Your movin’ on song’s fast asleep
        D               D
You’ll pour a glass of something
     D                    D
And let your heart start running
         D              D                G
To that summer at that bar on Division Street
      A                  A               A
That last verse, you’ll want to change it
           A            D     D
Some night, when it’s rainin’


CHORUS:
 Em          A
I’ll be the sad song
       D             Bm
Your “good love gone bad” song
     Em            A                  D   D
The part of your heart that’s bittersweet

 Em               A
Couldn’t be your happy song
    D           Bm
But at least we had a song
    Em          A            Bm
So I’ll be the sad song you sing


INSTRUMENTAL:

BDA K:
    D              D
If your life is a record
  D                         G
People and places are the songs


CHORUS:
 Em           A
I’ll be your sad song
       D             Bm
Your "what we almost had song"
 Em                 A              D   D
Might of been that wasn't meant to be

 Em               A
Couldn’t be your happy song
    D           Bm
But at least we had a song
    Em          A            Bm   A
So I’ll be the sad song you sing
  Em                 A               D   D  D  D
‘Cause you’ll always be that song to me
