A7
Right now is the saddest I've ever been,
(until now) D E F

[Chorus]
G    D    G           D
Sad, sad, sadder than sad,
    C                        D
I'm sadder with each passing moment,
    G           D          G      C
I'm much sadder now than a second ago,
    G          D          G
And sadly even sadder now still.

[Verse]
  C                        G
I look back at life twenty seconds ago,
     D7                 G
When first I sang of my sorrow,
       C
Twas a happier time,
         G
Than I'm living through now,
A7                                     D7
Which is bliss compared with what's to follow.

[Chorus]
G    D    G           D
Sad, sad, sadder than sad,
    C                        D
I'm sadder with each passing moment,
    G           D          G      C
I'm much sadder now than a second ago,
    G          D          G
And sadly even sadder now still.

[Verse]
C                             G
Once my heart was filled with gloom and despair,
D7                          G
But those carefree days are over,
  C
A bottomless pit
   G
Of black hopeless dread,
A7                              D7
Oh but that's when I was in the clover.
                         A7                       D7 
(Alternative lyric:  And that' when I wasn't even sober)

[Chorus]
G    D    G           D
Sad, sad, sadder than sad,
    C                        D
I'm sadder with each passing moment,
    G           D          G      C
I'm much sadder now than a second ago,
    G          D          G
And sadly even sadder now still.

[Outro]
    G    D    G
I'm sad, sad, sad.
