Verse 1:

Bm
Always been the radio's child

Quick-to-smile precious baby

Am                              Em
     Search the dial and electrify

Bm
Drive a tight little corner back in the mirror

Radio boys trying on all their moves

C                               E
     Spare some change and testify

A
Radio playing in your sleep

                        E
Prophet waiting in your car

F#m    E                D         C#m   Bm
Worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child

A
Rhymes cheating keeping time,

                           E
Eyes stretching across the stars

F#m      E           D         C#m   Bm
Over and over in the life of a radio child

Groove over an Em until Todd calls for the change to C. After Todd's drums break, jam over a C chord for 8 measures, then move back to the Main Riff. Verse 2:

Bm
The radios laugh like all their friends

Telling jokes the old folks know so well

Am                                   Em
     Like an old guitar plays a lullaby

A
Radio cradling your dreams

                        E
Prophet waiting in your car

F#m    E                D         C#m   Bm
Worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child

A
Rhymes cheating keeping time,

                           E
Eyes stretching across the stars

F#m      E           D         C#m   Bm
Over and over in the life of a radio child

           Bm
Yeah radio child

Precious baby, precious baby Jam over the Bm for a bit, then end with this:

  Bm     (3x) Bm D  A       F#m
