The Usual Chords

Sad songs get you down,
They get you down,
They get you down.
The music starts,
and then you can feel your careful heart break
Into the usual chords.
The music starts,
and then you can feel your careful heart break
Into the usual chords.

Baby, your mix tape made me sad
It made me sad, it made me sad.
Cue the rain, make the studio musicians play
Any of the usual chords
Cue the rain, make the studio musicians play
Any of the usual chords

They start out nice,
and all the lights are giving you their best
Before too long, the saddest songs are growing in your...
Growing in your chest and it weighs me down,
it weighs me down, it weighs me down...

I wanna go but I'm buried by the radio,
Drowning in the usual chords.
I wanna go, but I'm buried by the radio,
Drowning in the usual chords.
The music starts,
and then you can feel your careful heart break
Into the usual chords.
