[Verse 1]
Bb/C C I was making my way through the wasteland Bb/C C The road into town passes through Bb/C C I was changing the radio stations Bb/C C With my mind on you
[Verse 2]
Bb/C C Oh, your friends call you 'Lily Paloma' Bb/C C But that's not the way that you are Bb/C C It's too much of a gentle misnomer Bb C For a shooting star
[Bridge]
F But you and me, baby C F C I saw you there, straight away I knew F There's really no hiding C F C I tell you right now what we're gonna do Eb F We'll go collecting the days Ab G Putting the moments away
[Chorus]
Bb C You're on my mind | Bb/C | C | Like a song on the radio Bb C You're on my mind | Bb/C | C | Like a song on the radio
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Bb/C C I remember the first time I saw you Bb/C C Alone in the dark, with a drink Bb/C C With a candle flame burning before you Bb/C C And your thoughts closed in
[Verse 4]
Bb/C C You were staring out into the distance Bb/C C Not seeming to hear what I said Bb/C C Why did you put up such resistance Bb C Like all the lights were red
[Bridge]
F But you and me, baby C F C I saw you there, straight away I knew F There's really no hiding C F C I tell you right now what we're gonna do Eb F We'll go collecting the days Ab G Putting the moments away
[Chorus]
Bb C You're on my mind | Bb/C | C | Like a song on the radio Bb C You're on my mind | Bb/C | C | Like a song on the radio

[Verse 5]
Bb/C C I don't know what it was that was painful Bb/C C But sometimes it's there in your face Bb/C C There are times when you just look disdainful Bb/C C Of the human race
[Verse 6]
Bb/C C Ah, but then on the wings of emotion Bb/C C We circle each other in flight Bb/C C Till together we roll like the ocean Bb C In its bed at night
[Bridge]
F But you and me, baby C F C I saw you there, straight away I knew F There's really no hiding C F C I tell you right now what we're gonna do Eb F We'll go collecting the days Ab G Putting the moments away
[Chorus]
Bb C You're on my mind | Bb/C | C | Like a song on the radio Bb C You're on my mind | Bb/C | C | Like a song on the radio
[Outro]
Bb/C C Oh, woah Bb/C C Song on the radio Bb/C C Oh, woah Bb/C C Song on the radio
