Ab                  Bb
he hides behind his cigarette
Ab                          Bb
let's the smoke linger by his lips
Fm                                 Db
exhales his sorrows watches them float to the heavens
Ab
as the clouds taste his kiss

Fm                         Db
I can't help but take a picture
            Ab
to the catch the sadness in his grin
   Fm                    Db        Ab             Fm       Db   Ab
oh, sad boy, sad boy, who hurt you so bad, so bad like this?
                 Fm    Db      Fm   Ab
Oh, who hurt you so bad like this?

Fm                    Bb                     Ab
well shit, not even god knows what I saw in you
Fm                    Bb                     Ab
traipsing around like you were always blue
                     Bb                      Ab
but at the touch of love you turned a scarlet hue
                 Fm   Db          Ab
and that's all I ever wanted to do

Ab                          Bb
don't you like friends enough to stay the night
Ab                                Bb
you said if I don't leave, I'll never make it our alive
Fm                        Db
so you walked away, left devastation in your wake

oh, sad boy, sad boy, who did this to you?

Fm                    Bb                     Ab
well shit, not even god knows what I saw in you
Fm                    Bb                     Ab
traipsing around like you were always blue
                     Bb                      Ab
but at the touch of love you turned a scarlet hue
                 Fm   Db          Ab
and that's all I ever wanted to do

( Ab  Bb  Ab  Bb )

Ab                             Bb
all that cheap talk, cold walks, cigarettes
Ab                             Bb
those drunk thoughts, 12 blocks, heartbroken regrets
Ab                   Bb
shattered bottles, alleyways empty
Ab                   Bb
crowded front porches, and kids on LSD
Fm                   Db
he'll always live like lightning
                Ab
not scared of any damn thing
                Fm           Ab
one day he'll crash like thunder
 Fm               Db          Ab
Oh, how much that will hurt
 Fm               Db          Ab
oh, sad boy, sad boy, how much that'll hurt

Fm         Bb     Db      Ab
i'll write songs about you
Bb          Fm                 Ab
all about how your heart is broken and bruised
                 Bb          Fm
even after you die you won't be dead
Db           Bb            Ab
you'll live forever in your lover's head
           Db
I won't let you go
           Ab     Eb
I won't let you go
           Ab
I won't let you go
