     F
My friends tell me I'm good
     Am
Why can’t I feel it too?

When the drink hits lips

I, all I taste is you
F
Make the most of my days
Am
I tell myself that you're gone
G
I don't wanna be right
                       C/E
If missing you is so wrong

    F                     Am
It hits me like a tsunami
       G
Oh, I feel you over my body
C/E         F
Oh yeah, I hate being so damn honest
     Am                                         G
You have my heart, but you don’t even want it, no
You don't even want it

I'll let my friends take me out on another night
 G                      C/E
To some bar I know you never liked
 F           Am             G
Kiss somebody who's not my type
G                  C/E
And it won't feel right

So let me be sad tonight, sad tonight, sad tonight

Sad tonight, sad tonight, sad tonight
 F                        Am
Sad tonight, sad tonight, sad tonight
           G
'Cause it feels so right
                         C/E
Yeah, it feels so right (Yeah)

You're all over my mind
I try to find a new muse
Can't believe what you did, no
And I don’t really want to
I got thoughts in my mind, yeah
And they feel so loud
Could pretend that I’m fine
But I don't really know how

It hits me like a tsunami
(It hits me like, you know,
it hits me like, you know)
Oh, I feel you over my body (Feel you over my body)
Oh yeah, I hate being so damn honest
You have my heart, but you don’t even want it, no
You don't even want it (No)

I'll let my friends take me out on another night
To some bar I, I know you never liked
Kiss somebody, yeah, who's not my type
And it won’t feel right

Chorus:
So let me be sad tonight, sad tonight, sad tonight
Sad tonight, sad tonight, sad tonight (So let me be)
Sad tonight, sad tonight, sad tonight
'Cause it feels so right
Yeah, it feels so right

So let me be
So let me be sad tonight, sad tonight, sad tonight
So let me be
'Cause it feels so right
Yeah, it feels so right
