[Verse 1]
I'd [Eadd9-024100] sit alone and watch your light
My [F#m7] only friend through teenage nights
And [A] everything I had to know
I [F#m7] heard it on my [A] radi [E] o
[Verse 2]
You [Eadd9] gave them all those old time stars
Through [F#m7] wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You [A] made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You [F#m7] made us feel like [A] we could [E] fly
[F#m/E-002222] Ra - di [E] o
[Pre-chorus]
So [E] don't become some background noise
(move to Em6/G - keep 2,3 fingers from E in place,
use little finger for low G and first finger for 2nd fret on B)
A [Em6/G-322020] backdrop for the girls and boys
Who [A] just don't know or just don't care
And [F#7/A#(x14320)] just complain when you're not there
(E/B - play E but mute lowest E)
You [E/B] had your time, you had the power
You've [B7sus4] yet to have your [B7] finest hour
[A] Ra - di [E] o, ([F#m/E-002222] Ra - di [E] o)
[Chorus B1 - E/D - play E7 and try to avoid lower 2 strings]
(Drums BxxB xxSS - Both Bs are the chord strums - to cheat you can play bass drum straight (ss) = double snares)
[E/D - 10x999] All we hear is (ss)
[A/E] Radio [E] ga ga (ss)
[A/E] Radio [E] goo goo (ss)
[A/E] Radio [E] ga ga (ss)
[E/D - 10x999] All we hear is (ss)
[A/E] Radio [E] ga ga (ss)
[A/E] Radio [E] blah blah (ss)
[D] Radio, what's (ss) [A]new? [B] (ss)
[C#m]Radio, (ss) [Bsus4]some- [B]one (ss)
[A/C#]still [B]loves (ss) [E]you!
[Instrumental - Straight drums]
(Drums and synth, 4 bars - Vamp on Emaj)
[Verse 3]
We [Eadd9] watch the shows, we watch the stars
On [F#m7] videos for hours and hours
We [A] hardly need to use our ears
How [F#m7] music changes [A]through the years [Eadd9]
[Pre-chorus]
Let's [E] hope you never leave old friend
Like [Em6/G-322020] all good things on you we depend
So [A] stick around 'cause we might miss you
When [F#7/A#(x14320)] we grow tired of all this visual
(E/B - play E but mute lowest E)
You [E/B] had your time, you had the power
You've [B7sus4] yet to have your [B7] finest hour
[A]Ra - di [E]o, [F#m/E-002222] (Ra - dio [E])
[Chorus B2]
(No chords - Straight drums)
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, Radio ga ga
[E/D - 10x999] All we hear is
[A/E] Radio [E] ga ga
[A/E] Radio [E] blah blah
(double snares come back)
[D] Radio, (ss) what's [A]new? [B] (ss)
[Bsus4]some- [B]one (ss)
[A/C#] still [B] loves (ss)
[E] you!
