Over The Rhine - Like A Radio

Dm C Dm
confused
C
ever since i spied you
A# C
in the rooms of my mind
A#
now i can’t deny you
Dm C
bleeding and bruised
A# C
like a vagabond in rags
A# C
i’ve walked the streets to your door
A#
to find just what’s in store

i see you
you and many others
in your clean well – lighted place
where i would find disgrace
but i do
know i’d find contentment
just to be your furniture
i need nothing more

Gm C
in the thick of the night
Dm A#
take me out of the cold
Gm C
let me sing inside
Gm
like a radio

in the thick of the night
before we grow too old
let me sing inside
like a radio

shivering and cold
this night’s condusive
to a flight into my soul
but i stand here
though my heart grows bold
once on the inside
i can quietly persist
and hold my tears

chorus

and so still i wait
though i grow much weaker
no , no , no , i will not faint
i’ll stay true
believe me when i say
i’d climb to heaven ,
crawl beneath the lowest hell
to stay near you

chorus
