      Bbsus2                    C
I was making my way through the wasteland

    Bbsus2                C
The road into town passes through

      Bbsus2             C
I was changing the radio stations

        Bbsus2        C
With my mind on you
[Verse]
         Bbsus2                   C
Oh, your friends call you 'Lily Paloma'

    Bbsus2                      C
But that's not the way that you are

         Bbsus2              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

                  | Bbsus2 | C |
Like a song on the radio

Bb            C
 You're on my mind

                  | Bbsus2 | C |
Like a song on the radio
[Interlude] | Bbsus2 | C | Bbsus2 | C | | Bbsus2 | C | Bbsus2 | C | [Verse]
    Bbsus2                  C
I remember the first time I saw you

 Bbsus2                   C
Alone in the dark, with a drink

       Bbsus2                 C
With a candle flame burning before you

         Bbsus2               C
And your thoughts closed in
[Verse]
         Bbsus2               C
You were staring out into the distance

    Bbsus2                 C
Not seeming to hear what I said

    Bbsus2                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

                  | Bbsus2 | C |
Like a song on the radio

Bb            C
 You're on my mind

                  | Bbsus2 | C |
Like a song on the radio

        Bbsus2                    C
I don't know what it was that was painful

    Bbsus2                       C
But sometimes it's there in your face

          Bbsus2                      C
There are times when you just look disdainful

       Bbsus2      C
Of the human race
[Verse]
        Bbsus2                C
Ah, but then on the wings of emotion

   Bbsus2               C
We circle each other in flight

       Bbsus2                  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

                  | Bbsus2 | C |
Like a song on the radio

Bb            C
 You're on my mind

                  | Bbsus2 | C |
Like a song on the radio
[Outro]
    Bbsus2 C
Oh, woah

            Bbsus2 C
Song on the radio

    Bbsus2 C
Oh, woah

            Bbsus2 C
Song on the radio
