[Verse 1]

And the light you gave

You took when you were gone

It's a war that can't be won

With fists or talk or money

And there's no escape

But there's nothin' I want more

[Refrain]

But I'd better stop complaining now

I guess because

[Chorus]

Too many sad words make for sad, sad songs

Too many sad words make for sad, sad songs

[Verse 2]

And the night you came

You won me, all and all

And the better part of everything

Is born to run

And the price of fame

Is that they love you when you're gone

[Refrain]

But I better stop complaining now

It's useless because

[Chorus]

Too many sad words make for sad, sad songs

Too many sad words make for sad, sad songs

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Too many sad words make a sad, sad song

Too many sad words make a sad, sad song
